I believe that's incorrect. The power switch is a push button switch;
one pulse on those pins will switch the thing on, another will switch it off
(or suspend mode, as configured in the BIOS). It might be that holding the
switch in (ie connecting the two pins permanently) does the trick though.

There was a long discussion of this on slashdot.org last week; look
in their archives.

The solution is to electrically connect (certain) two of the wires 
in the bundle that plugs into the motheboard, or else to connect 
some  of the wires leading to the power 'switch'.  The deatails are
over there.

On some boards, it's a matter of connecting two pins on a jumper on the 
motherboard, the case switch performs that connection. That should translate 
to (if these two pins are connected, the power supply is supposed to be on, 
until the drop and then go on again.)

Your BIOS manual might tell the tale, some careful experimentation might as 
well.

Insert standard caveats here. Remember 120V at 15 amps = Crispy Geek.

This is more than likely a function of the BIOS of your
motherboard. Look through your BIOS and see if it supports this
functionality. If it doesn't you're probably out of luck.

Check your board's manual, BIOS setting section

ATX power on

1999-06-16 Thread Pere Camps
Hi!

Does anybody how to make an ATX motherboard boot without having to
press the 'power' button everytime? That is, I want an standard AT
behaviour: if there's power in the line, then I want the machine running
without having to press anything.

TIA!
