Hi
My spare PC is in an AT case. It's currently powered by a 200w AT power supply. The motherboard has AT and ATX connectors. The mobo is an Epox EP-58 MVP3C-M and has power connectors for both AT and ATX cases. I'm taking out the generic AT 200w power supply as it's getting old and I have a new 400w ATX power supply to put in. The AT PSU has a power cord which runs to a button on the front of the case. The ATX PSU does not have a power cord with a button attached to it. I've noticed the mobo has a 2 pin connector labelled 'POWER-ON'. After installing the new ATX PSU, is it a case of buying a power button with two wires that go to the 2 pin 'POWER-ON' connector? If so, I'm not sure which pin will be positive and which will be negative and I'm not sure my mobo manual tells me... I suppose that electronics shops would stock these buttons. I'm from downunder, if that helps with PC component location advice. Thanks heaps Darren |
