Installation Procedure (Cont.)

Now we can add up the remainder of the connectors and strategically route the cables that best suite our configuration. Running 5 hard drives in a single system will prove we need lots of 12 volt power sources and Hiper provides the means to get the job done.

Now that the motherboard power connector is in place, we installed the rest of the 4-pin connectors to our devices and what you see is what you get. Our system is endowed with lots of peripherals and for that fact we needed just about every connector available to us. As we mentioned running almost a half a dozen hard drives in one rig requires a lot of power connectors and a very stable PSU. Will the Hiper live up to our rigs demands? Well let's continue on with the cable configuration and find out...

There is however one small drawback with the Type-R 580W power supply, at least in our case, and this has to do with the coax-like cable connections. The OmniGrid™ System has in total 6 connections available which you can use at your own choice. In our case we had to use 5 in total (no need for the PCI Express power connections). Due to the use of these coax/BNC connectors, these can't be bend immediately at the insertion point. Therefore we had to remove the top exhaust fan that came with the Cooler Master, as it was blocking the power cables.

That does it... All cables are installed, all components gotten their power connected. So I guess we are ready to finally power up the system with the Hiper Type-R 580W power supply. Are you ready? Well we certainly are, after checking once more if all cables are well connected and to make sure nothing has been forgotten. So Hiper, here we go!
