[Suns-at-Home] RE: [Suns-at-Home] Ultra 5 - Quiet Power Supply

[Lewis, Benjamin (Ben)]

Hello Again Folks

I finally got around to buying a quiet PC power supply for my Ultra 5. I bought an Antec NeoHE from a case modding type shop. The clerk was actually quite reluctant to sell me this one, he said I should go for the cheapest.

The trouble is it doesn't seem to work at all. It fits perfectly into the Ultra 5 chassis and comes with some classy cables but when I try to power on I get nothing. That's using the keyboard power switch and the switch on the front of the case.

I've checked everything but still no response. I did notice that when I first connect the power cord to PSU socket I get a beep, the keyboard lights flash and the internal fan spins for a second but after that nothing.

I read that there are multiple versions of the ATX standard. This NeoHE is "ATX 2.2 Compatible". I can't imagine it would not be be backwards compatible with earlier ATX equipment. Maybe Sun made some modifications to the standard.

Any ideas?

Best regards
