Our first
tip will involve powering up your ATX PSU without a motherboard. Being
able to power up a PSU independent of the mobo will allow users to test
system components as well as giving you the flexibility to install a
second PSU in your case without resorting to potentially dangerous
rewiring.
Lets
Begin...
Locate the
green lead on your ATX power connector. This is easy as there is only one
green lead as shown below:
Next make a jumper from a piece of wire. I prefer
the 18 gauge solid strand type. Strip both ends of the wire and insert one
end into the pin connector that corresponds to the green lead. Insert the
other end of the jumper to any pin connector that has a black lead. You
should end up with the following:
Now you can plug your PSU to an electrical source
and power up any system components you wish. As you can see we tested the
different components of the ExtremeMhz Flagship case using this very
method. Notice the jumper on the bottom left corner of the picture
below:
