    The power setting for your PSU is determined by the voltage supplied by your power company. In the USA, this is 110v (In Australia it is 240V). Set your PSU to 110V. If you set it to 240V, you will not get the correct voltage output you require. There is a little bit of circuitry on the board that transforms the 110V AC to 12V DC which is what is required to power your board.

    It does not matter which way you insert the wires for the heated bed and the thermistors as these are simply resistors in a circuit and do not care which way the electrons flow. However, you have to see which way your fan has to turn to make it blow or draw air in the direction you require. You won't fritz your fan if you wire it and it runs the opposite way to what you want. A tip is to see which side of the fan centre the name sticker is on. Fans usually blow away from the sticker.

    When you do get around to wiring in your components, make sure that the wires are inserted in a pleasing and eye-catching pattern

    By the way, the assembly manual for your printer is the best designed and presented one I have ever seen. Good on you QU-BD!
