AT of ATX

[C Bunker]

I'm a litte confused with your english, but It sounds like your ATX
connecter might be bad, or your not connecting it all the way. Does it snap
when you connect it?

Many newer boards have both AT and ATX power connections. The ATX
connection is idiot proof, i.e. you can't hook it up wrong. The AT need to
have the black in the center and together. To me, it makes more sense for
an AT motherboard to also have and ATX power connection. If you ahve an ATX
board, I don't know why you want and AT connection. Usually the ATX board
would not fit into the AT case anyways. Are you SURE your motherboard is
really an ATX MB? Name the exact make and model so others can verify.

I am worried that you might be in over your head. You sound rather confused
and lost.

Check for a jumper that sets either AT or ATX power source...

Many ATX mainboards won't power up when you connect only the power supply;
you must also attach the power button wire connector the front of the case
to the mainboard and hit that to actually turn the system on. HTH...

The ATX power supply provide a power of 5V 700MA to the
computer even the computer is powered off(not turn off the
power on the back or unplug the power cord). This small
power provide the computer has the capability to WOL (wake
up on lan). Also, this power provide a circuit on the main
board to power on the whole computer.

Many dual mode ATX/ATX motherboard and power supply does
not really implement the support for the WOL, so that
are not true ATX. If you want to read the ATX spec,
