Start PSU outside of the case

[sparkie34]

Hey gang. Going to test my p4c800 outside of the case. I'm just wondering how to jump the psu to run the system. I've read other threads saying jump the green to black on the atx plug but I didn't know if that's how to do it when trying to run a full system.

Thanks for any help. :)

look in your motherboard for where you plug in the power connector led. (you know the small little connectors from your case that connects to your motherboard.) after you find those two pins on the motherboard that that connects to just create a link between them and the computer should boot right up. common item to make the connection would be a screwdriver or any other metal object.

So let me get this straight. I jump the two power led pins just until it boots and then I remove them?

Or do I leave the jumper on.

I figured it out. Thank you very much for the help!
