How Do You Install An ATX Power Supply?
• Unplug the power from the ATX power supply, if there is currently a power supply installed in the computer. • Remove the side panel from the computer tower. These are usually shut by thumb screws, which you can easily remove, but you may require a Phillips head screw driver. • Assess the position of the current power supply in the case. That is, is it installed length-wise, or width-wise? • Unplug all connections from the power supply to components in the computer. • Remove the screws from the power supply at the rear of the case. • Slowly and carefully remove the power supply. • Take the new power supply and work it into the position of the old power supply. • Reinstall the screws that hold power supply in the case. • Return all power connections to devices in the computer. • Plug in the power supply. • Turn on the computer and boot. • Turn off the computer. Return the side panel to the computer and reinstall screws to hold side panel in place.
