ATX 2 power supply problem

[flannman]

Hi

I have purchased four atx2 power supplies with the intentions of daisy chaing them but am unable to get them powered up (individually.) I have connected pin 14 to ground which in theory should power up the supply but still nothing. I have also tried a 5 ohm resistor on the 5v leads to give a load. The power supplies do work in the pc however but am stuck on how to get them running on their own. Any suggestions would be great

Cheers

Lee

Odd. That should work I would think.

Some of the 'better' PS, require a load on the 12v and the 5v, I Used 3 dell server ps's and had to add light bulbs on both the 12 and 5 to get them to turn on. Something to try..
