ATE power Supply

[Sniper_83]

I was wondering if anyone knows what wires you need to cross on a ATE power supply to get it to turn on? I want to use it to run some fans outside my case seeing as it is too small to fit a 120 and a radiator plus a 120 would make a nice desk fan to keep me cool. I just don't know what will turn it on since I will not be using a mobo on it.

Thanks guys.

I guess you mean ATX.

Connect the green power cable on the 24pin connector to any black also on the 24pin connector.

I saw the subject and thought, "WHOA! He ATE a power supply???"

That's like that episode of M*A*S*H when Klinger at the Jeep? You take the PSU apart piece by piece and eat it? ;)

Pins 14 and 15 usually on any 20 pin ATX PSU. I assume its the same for ATX12v (24pin PSU) Or EPS (24 pin + 8pin instead of 4 pin for CPU)

Umm I actually mean a ATE is a Compaq PSU with 20 pins. They change the pins thats why its not in a computer. Sorry it took me so long to reply been bussy lately.

Just to make sure I don't start my house on fire thats any black wire?

Thanks very much guys!

Any black wire is ground ;)

I still don't know what "ATE" is so I'm not going to suggest shorting any wire with any other wire. ;)
