New Solution Series User's Manual
NSK 6000, NSK 6580 and NSK6580B
Quiet Super Mid Tower Case
This case is designed to meet Intel's Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) design
guide requirements.
The Power Supply
While the NSK 6000 does not offer a PSU the NSK 6580 and the NSK6580B
come with an EarthWatts 430 watt PSU. Universal input, active PFC single 80mm
fan cooled power supply that follows the ATX12V version 2.2 specifications. This
includes dual +12V output rails that deliver safer and more reliable output to your
system's components. Featuring higher energy efficiency, which reduces power
consumption by up to 25%, saving you money on your electricity bill. EarthWatts
power supplies have achieved 80 PLUS® Certification, the latest independent
standard in power supply efficiency. In addition EarthWatts includes a variety of
protective circuitry: OPP (over power protection), OVP (over voltage protection),
and SCP (short circuit protection).
The PSU comes with a main power switch. Make sure you turn the switch to the
ON (I) position before you boot up the computer for the first time. Normally, you
won't need to switch to the OFF (O) position, since the PSU includes a soft on/off
feature. This lets you turn the computer on and off by using the soft switch on the
computer case. If the computer crashes and you can't shut it down using the soft
switch, you can switch the main power to the OFF (O) position to shut the system
down. Then turn the switch back to the ON (I) position and reboot.
Antec power supply models feature Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuitry in
accordance with European standard regulation code EN61000-3-2. By altering the
input current wave shape, PFC improves the power factor of the PSU. A better
Power Factor increases energy efficiency, reduces heat, improves output voltage
stability and prolongs the life of all equipment. The PSU's high efficiency design
and quiet fan deliver not only a cleaner but also a quieter operating environment.
Setting Up
Although care has been taken to prevent sharp edges in your Antec case, we
strongly recommend taking your time and the appropriate care when working with
it. Hurried or careless motion and use of excessive force, particularly when you are
working in areas you cannot see clearly, are but a few examples of activity that
should be avoided. Please use reasonable precaution.
1.
Place the case upright on a flat, stable surface. The power supply fan should
be at the back, facing you.
