I recently bought the Asus M2N68-AM SE2 Barebone Kit off tigerdirect and have assembled the hardware for the most part...
I screwed the motherboard and power supply to the tower and connected all power supply cables except the Video card power cable (6 pin) and the 8 pin server/workstation cable(what is this for??)
The problem I encounter is when I turn on the power supply, the motherboard starts(green light turns on) but pressing the power on the tower yields no response.
I looked in the Motherboard manual to check for system panel connections, but I'm still a bit confused on how they are oriented, all it tells you is where to put the pins and not if they go vertical or horizontal (the speaker, usb, and ac connections were easy since they were in a bundle and only went one way).
Pins:
+ Pwr LED, = Pwr LED (each 1 pin ea)
2 pin HDD LED
2 pin RESET SW
2 pin POWER SW
Also when I turn on the power supply the only thing activating is the motherboard, on occasions the CPU fan would rotate once, but cease. The power fan is immobile, what signs should I look for to be sure everything is intact?
Thank you greatly for any responses, I'm a complete amateur at this, I bought it due to more bang for the buck
