🚫 What NEVER to Do (Common Misuse Warnings)

⚠️ Connecting the PSU to the incorrect voltage (e.g., 220V on a 110V circuit without a voltage selector, or vice versa).
err_01
Consequence: Immediate damage to the PSU and potential harm to other PC components.
✓ How to avoid: Always check the position of the voltage selector switch (110V/220V) before plugging the PSU into the outlet. If there is no selector switch, the PSU is auto-volt (100-240V) and requires no adjustment.
