AT Power Supply Questions
(1/1)
testicle187:
I am in the process of wiring a seperate AT power supply to power the fans on the on rear of my arcade cabinet and am wondering what I need to do to get it where when I flip the power supply Switch to "ON" it starts the fans running.  Is there a set of pins I need to short out?  Or perhaps a walkthrough for hacking an AT power supply on this?  Thanks in advance for the help.
Franco:
Do you mean AT or ATX?

AT PSUs dont need the pins shorting, ATX do.

The lower part of this thread should help.

Mine is actually AT, but I was wondering how I would go about disabling the Power button that is attached to it.  So that when the switch on the back of the PSU is turned on it powers up.  I know I can leave the front power button clicked in, but was wanting to eliminate some wires if possible.
spystyle:
IIRC,

AT PSU has a toggle switch, meaning it's always ON or always OFF, no momentary business. If that's true you could turn the AT power supply ON and connect it to a "smart strip" that is connected to your cabinet's PC, then it would turn on and off with the PC.

As for "eliminate some wires" - simply cut the wires off that you aren't using. (probably all but 2)

What is the AT PSU being used for?
