For ATX power supplies, you need to switch on the power supply as well as
press the ATX power switch on the front of the case.
6. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light up. For ATX
power supplies, the system LED will light up when the ATX power switch is

with green standards or if it has a power standby feature. The system will
then run power-on tests. While the tests are running, additional messages

from the time you turn on the power, the system may have failed a
power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or call your
retailer for assistance.
