You can turn off the wall socket or the power supply.
Press the power button for a few secs after you have disconnected/switch off the plug/socket.

But if you are just checking something not changing anything then there is no need...

i dont think ill be turning off the power suppy i just didnt want to turn it on its side, can they damage easily?or bits rattle around?

Power supplys aren't fragile like hard drive, it takes a hammer or a short circuit to break them (or a few drops of water...).

You can shake a PSU as much as you want and it won't break unless it flys out of your hand....

more likely to damage the floor than the power supply.


best to unplug the leads if they are tight though, if there is plenty of slack then no need


best to pull power cable though as there is still power going to the power supply


don't touch anything on back of powersuply, just pull cable

some power supplies have a switch/slider to convert from 110 to 230 input voltage

if you acidently change this then you will fry it (i know ive done it before, no pics this was before digital camera's where commonplace)

Done that before ( switched the little switch to 110v on a 240v socket and BANG, didn't know WTF happened (did it when i was younger)...
