Need Expert Help! Power to the fans?

[ZackLK]

Hey guys,

I mounted my fans, one in front and one in back. I then connected the power cord, and the fans power cords to the Power Supply and turned it on. I get a little jump out of the fans, but nothing else.

Are the fans supposed to be blowing..am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

what PSU are you running? , how many peripherals/ fans... sounds like you ran out of juice...

I have a 300 watt supply, but it doesn't matter.

The ONLY thing I have hooked up to my PSU are the 2 fans. That's all.

Help soon!

If you have an ATX type PS you need to have a mobo w/CPU (operational) connected to the PS for the PS to 'turn-on'. The power switch on the front of an ATX case is momentary contact type; this switch only 'tells' [signals] the mobo that you want to turn the computer on or off.

Well, you can fool your PS by trying something like this.
