Powering up second power supply
TheShaner:
I have a second PC power supply in my cabinet that I have intended on using for all of my lights. I currently have it hooked to my Marquee lights, but when I turn on the cabinet, the second power supply does not come on. Is there some trick to getting it to fire up without it being attached to a computer?
Nephasth:
You have to jump the green wire to ground (any adjascent black wire) on the mobo connector.
TheShaner:
So, pull out the green wire from
The mobo connector on that power supply and run it to any ground in the cab?
BobA:
No you run it to a ground on the same connector that you pulled it out from. Second PS Ground.
Nephasth:
This is how I do it on a PS I use for testing. The wire is held in place with some hot glue.
