I am finishing my cab.I just installed my ASUS motherboard and ATX power supply. I cannot seem to power my board even when I turn on my power supply? Do I need to jumper some pins or do I need some sort of hack in order to power my board?

AmericanDemon:

You hook a power switch up to the pins on the motherboard?

shawshank:

That's it? Does Radio SHack sell these or do I  need to buy a whole case just to have the power switch?


Thenasty:

just get a momentary switch and hook it up to the mobo pins.
If you have a case that has a reset switch, use that.

rchadd:

i had real trouble to get the connector to attach to the motherboard pins - did consider getting a CD audio connector

in the end I ripped out the power switch from a friends old case.

only PCs with AT type PSUs can be power on with single switch
