4. Configuración e instalación

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your power supply. Always ensure your system is powered off and unplugged from the wall outlet before installation.

4.1 Precauciones de seguridad

• Disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet before handling the PSU or any internal components.
• Asegúrese de que haya una conexión a tierra adecuada para evitar descargas electrostáticas (ESD).
• No abra la fuente de alimentación casing. Alto volumentagEstán presentes en el interior, incluso cuando está desconectado.

4.2 Instalación física

1. Mount the PSU into the designated power supply bay in your computer case. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction for optimal airflow (usually facing down if there's a bottom vent, or up if it's a top-mounted PSU).
2. Fije la fuente de alimentación a la carcasa utilizando los tornillos de montaje proporcionados.

4.3 Conexiones de cable

Connect only the necessary modular cables to your components. This improves cable management and airflow within your case.

• Alimentación SATA: Connect SATA power cables to your storage drives (SSDs, HDDs) and other SATA-powered devices.
• PATA Power (Molex): Connect PATA power cables to older peripherals or case fans if needed.

After connecting all necessary internal cables, connect the AC power cord to the PSU and then to a wall outlet.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Encendido / Apagado

1. Asegúrese de que todos los cables estén conectados de forma segura.
2. Flip the main power switch on the back of the PSU to the 'I' (On) position.
3. Power on your computer system via the case power button.
4. To power off, shut down your operating system normally, then flip the main power switch on the PSU to the 'O' (Off) position.

5.2 iCool Intelligent Fan Control

The ASRock Steel Legend SL-850G features an iCool switch on the rear panel. This switch controls the fan's operation mode:

• iCool ON: The fan will remain off at low to medium loads for silent operation. It will activate automatically when the load or temperature increases.
• iCool OFF: The fan will operate continuously, regardless of the load or temperature. This provides maximum cooling but may result in higher noise levels.

Choose the mode that best suits your preference for noise and cooling performance.

6. Mantenimiento

El mantenimiento regular ayuda a garantizar la longevidad y el rendimiento óptimo de su fuente de alimentación.

• Limpieza: Periodically clean the exterior of the PSU and its fan grille to prevent dust buildup. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fan blades and heatsinks. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Sistema de organización de cables: Asegúrese de que los cables estén colocados de forma ordenada y no obstruyan el flujo de aire dentro del gabinete.
• Ambiente: Operate the PSU in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

7. Solución de problemas

If you encounter issues with your power supply, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Sin energía:
  • Compruebe si el cable de alimentación de CA está conectado de forma segura tanto a la fuente de alimentación como a la toma de pared.
  • Ensure the main power switch on the PSU is in the 'I' (On) position.
  • Verifique que el tomacorriente de pared funcione enchufando otro dispositivo.
  • Use the included 24-pin PSU tester to check if the PSU powers on independently.
• Inestabilidad del sistema/apagados aleatorios:
  • Ensure all modular cables, especially the 12V-2x6 PCIe cable, are fully seated and properly connected.
  • Check for any loose connections to the motherboard, CPU, or graphics card.
  • Verifique que los requisitos de energía de su sistema no excedan la capacidad de 850 W de la fuente de alimentación.
• Fan Not Spinning (iCool ON):
  • If iCool mode is ON, the fan may not spin at low loads. This is normal operation.
  • If the fan does not spin even under load, try switching iCool mode OFF to force continuous fan operation. If it still doesn't spin, contact support.
• Ruidos inusuales:
  • Asegúrese de que no haya cables que obstruyan el ventilador.
  • If the noise persists and is not related to fan operation, contact support.
