How to wire a power button for a cab
« on: November 28, 2008, 08:51:21 pm »
I've spent the last 2 to 3 hours searching and googling for instructions on how to wire a power button to the cab. I dont care a this point what different ways there are I just need any of them. If anyone has a way or ways to do them (i.e. using a HAPP push button) or any other way please, please post it...im just so tired...so tired and cold! :banghead: :hissy:

If you just want to turn on your computer just connect the button to the power on terminals on your motherboard.

If you're looking to turn on your whole system, there are different ways.  Since I know absolutely nothing about your setup (nor have you posted what your setup is) all I can do is point you at the Wiki.

And this is how I did it:

I just used the POWER-SW connector that was attached to my PC case (power on button).
