I bought the motherboard but haven't receive it. today i try to test out the fans of empty case. I connected the cable to the fans and plug the power cord in and turn on. However, the power supply doesn't turn on. What is wrong? do i have to connect powersupply to the motherboard first before the power supply can turn on? or the power supply is broken already?

You need to wire two of the sockets in the plug, if you don't have a motherboard.
