Yes, you have to connect the green wire to one of the black ones in the ATX power connector to automagically "turn on" an ATX PSU when power cord is inserted or a proper power switch on the PSU is turned on. So to me it sounds like that the power switch on the case has been connected so that when pressed it connects the green to one of the blacks, causing the PSU to power up. If this is the case, the solution is to open the box and do some soldering. Either solder the power switch on the front panel to be always on or do the soldering on the ATX power connector, as it has been done in my PC164. Oh, and YMMV. And it might also be a good idea to check somewhere it really is the green wire... ;) -jake -- Jarkko Santala http://www.iki.fi/~jake/ System Administrator 2001:670:83:f08::/64 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
