Follow these steps to properly install your Thermaltake Smart BM3 650W Power Supply into your computer system.

4.1. Pripremite svoj sistem

1. Sigurnost na prvom mjestu: Always disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet before installing or removing any components.
2. Otvorite kućište računara: Uklonite bočnu ploču kućišta računara da biste pristupili unutrašnjim komponentama.
3. Uklonite stari PSU (ako je primjenjivo): Isključite sve kablove iz starog napajanja i izvadite ga iz kućišta.

4.2. Instalirajte jedinicu za napajanje

4. Mount PSU: Carefully slide the new Thermaltake Smart BM3 650W Power Supply into the designated PSU bay in your PC case. Ensure the fan is facing the correct direction (usually downwards for bottom-mounted PSUs, or as per case design for optimal airflow).
5. Sigurno napajanje: Use the provided mounting screws to secure the power supply to the PC case.
6. Spojite modularne kablove: Attach only the necessary modular cables to the power supply unit. This semi-modular design allows for better cable management and airflow.
7. Povežite se na matičnu ploču:
   • Connect the 24-pin Main Power connector to your motherboard.
   • Connect the 4+4-pin ATX 12V CPU power connector(s) to your motherboard.
8. Connect to Graphics Card (GPU):
   • For modern GPUs, connect the 12V-2x6 (PCIe Gen 5) connector directly to your graphics card.
   • For other GPUs, connect the appropriate 6+2-pin PCIe connectors.
9. Connect to Storage Devices: Connect SATA power cables to your SSDs, HDDs, and other SATA-powered devices.
10. Povežite periferne uređaje: Connect peripheral 4-pin Molex connectors to any other devices requiring them (e.g., older fans, fan controllers).
11. Upravljanje kablovima: Route cables neatly behind the motherboard tray or in designated channels to improve airflow and aesthetics. Use cable ties if necessary.

4.3. Završni koraci

10. Zatvori kućište računara: Ponovo pričvrstite bočnu ploču kućišta računara.
11. Povežite AC napajanje: Plug the AC power cord into the power supply unit and then into a wall outlet.
12. Uključeno: Flip the main power switch on the back of the PSU to the 'ON' position.

5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

5.1. Smart Zero Fan Function

The Smart Zero Fan function is designed to minimize noise. When enabled, the 120mm FDB fan will not spin until the power supply load exceeds 20% of its maximum capacity. This ensures silent operation during low-load tasks.

• To Enable/Disable: Locate the "Smart Zero Fan" switch on the back of the power supply unit.
• UKLJUČENO pozicija: Fan will only spin when load exceeds 20%.
• OFF pozicija: Fan will operate continuously regardless of load.

6. Održavanje

Pravilno održavanje osigurava dugotrajnost i optimalne performanse vašeg napajanja.

• Čišćenje prašine: Regularly clean the fan and ventilation grilles of the power supply to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air for best results.
• Inspekcija kablova: Povremeno provjeravajte sve priključene kablove na znakove istrošenosti, oštećenja ili labavih spojeva.
• Uslovi okoline: Ensure the power supply operates within recommended temperature and humidity ranges (Operating Temperature: 5°C to +40°C; Operating Humidity: 20% to 85%, non-condensing).

7. Otkrivanje problema

Ako naiđete na probleme s napajanjem, pogledajte sljedeće uobičajene korake za rješavanje problema:

• Nema napajanja:
  • Provjerite je li kabel za napajanje naizmjeničnom strujom sigurno priključen i u PSU i u zidnu utičnicu.
  • Verify the main power switch on the PSU is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check all internal power connections (24-pin, ATX 12V, PCIe) to ensure they are firmly seated.
  • Testirajte zidnu utičnicu s drugim uređajem kako biste potvrdili da ima napajanja.
• Nestabilnost sistema/Nasumična isključenja:
  • This could indicate insufficient wattage or a faulty component. Ensure your total system power draw does not exceed the PSU's 650W capacity.
  • Check for overheating. Ensure proper airflow within the case and that the PSU fan is operating (if Smart Zero Fan is off or under load).
  • Verify all modular cables are correctly connected to the PSU and components.
• Fan Not Spinning (Smart Zero Fan ON):
  • This is normal if the system load is below 20%. The fan will activate automatically when the load increases.
  • If the system is under heavy load and the fan is still not spinning, try switching the Smart Zero Fan to 'OFF' to force it on. If it still doesn't spin, contact support.

If issues persist after following these steps, please contact Thermaltake customer support for further assistance.
