80 PLUS® CERTIFICATION
80 PLUS® certification is the most widely recognized
independent standard in power supply efficiency. An 80
PLUS® certified power supply uses less energy and
generates less heat to stay cooler, run quieter and last
longer. The HCG-400M has been 80 PLUS® Bronze
certified to be at least 82% efficient at a wide range of
operating loads; this will lower your operating costs and
help protect the environment.

INTELLIGENT HYBRID CABLE MANAGEMENT
The HCG-400M uses Intelligent Hybrid Cable Management. Cables that are important or mandatory are
permanently connected to the PSU for the highest quality power delivery. There are modular jacks on the back of
the PSU to add additional cables as needed. Using only the cables you need will reduce clutter and improve airflow
inside your case. For the list of connected and optional cables, see table 2.
MODULAR CABLE JACKS
There are two 5-pin black jacks and four 10-pin red jacks on the back of your HCG-400M PSU. These jacks are for
the optional cables that come with your power supply. A modular 10-pin connector system allows you plug 5-pin
connectors into the 10-pin jacks if you run out of 5-pin jacks.
