[Wylug-discuss] instant boot on power on........

[Graham Whaley]

Hi Jim.

 I presume this is an ATX powered MoBo.

 The ATX connector has a signal PS-ON - pin 14.  It is an active low signal that brings up the power rails.  I suspect you can just tie this to ground (any of the pins either side of it), and away you go.

 I happen to have an ATX power supply on my desk right now with a wire link selotaped in to do that.  It is running a non-ATX non-PC board.

   I found the ATX spec. on the net somewhere and have the printed page in front of me.  ATX spec. v2.01, Section 4.2 - power supply connector.


 Of course, if you fry your MoBo or psu, then it wasn't me :-)

	Graham
