RE: Thank you for demystifying the ATX start-up process. Would a relay also work?




Hi Mark,
I am also read about poorly designed ATX PSU, it is incourage me to try .
I am was not sure sistem will be restarted but it did. I use more switches as a heritage from previous set up. My set up proove -3 switches enough ( not take in account -12v) , HDD, Rest of voltage, Power Good. I did try minutes ago deferent combination - All voltage
without HDD , then HDD then Power Good and it started !
So, we can expect two switches will be enough. Remember ' cheapo 'ATX ?
Mark, of couse, relay can give you convenience of remote control power.
I placed switches on front panel, so it convenience to use , look as standard HI-FI chassis.
About ATX factor standart. Maybe hardware manufactures not forgot about us :-). I was give to MOBO by mistake -1.8v instead of positive
voltage , power up cMP^2 complite - nothing happen.
Best, Gene.
