Is this a new install or has it been functional before now?

Hi! HELP!!!!! lol..
I have a Arrow 1000, flip the power switch and fans come on BDS-5 drives light up but show under voltage.
push green button on the controller, nothing. Black screen, no switch/relay engagements'
Where do I start? I have good voltage coming in on all three legs, good through the master switch. I have no voltage(110) at what I think is the power supply for the computer/controller. Should I have? or does it power up after the green button is pressed?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for looking and thank you up front for any help you offer!

Is this a new install or has it been functional before now?
Been in its current location for almost two years, worked fine yesterday, normal shut down, no go this morning!
What control?
Should be 220 to the power supply then. Been a while, but once you power up the main, I believe you should have 220 at the plug.
You could be right, it looks like the power supply is set to 230 (tagged 220-240) But what I think I need to know, should there be power at the plugs (the ones that look the same as the cord connections in the back of a PC) with the master switch on? The fan on the power supply does not run, or does the power supply power up after the green button is pushed?
this is just a guess....and a hope tha the problem is a low cost power supply!
Think it's supposed to. Easy way to tell, switch the red switch to 110 and plug it in to the wall. Don't forget to switch it back. Think those are AT power supplies, not ATX btw.
Yes those are AT power supplies set at 230. Remove it ,set to 110 and plug it in to see if the fan spins.
thanks for the help! is the plugs I have pictured the onput or out put? I have no voltage on either the plug or the cord, I am thinking the plugs are the out lets, years ago I had some type of problem and a repair guy installed a y cable and abandoned the one plug.
Also AT vs ATX? I do not know the diffrence!
Thanks again!
AT power supplies are just an older style and harder to find. You won't find them at a regular computer big-box store, you'll likely have to go somewhere that builds custom computers etc... May even have to order one (or two) special. These are common fail items on these machines.
Also when you are at the computer store, grab an IDE cable that will support two hard drives, and buy another hard drive and make a copy of the hard drive in the machine. Even make two copies!
The white one is the input. Steal a cord off your desktop. There are some adapters you can but cheap for the ATX to at power supplies, but I still find AT power supplies here and there.
