= Power On and Test

The goal is to identify any short circuits that would cause problems. Before powering on the device check to see if there are shorts across any of the rails of the PCB.

  1. Turn on the backplane and use a volt meter to check voltage across the PCB including the expansion slots.
  2. Plug in the ATX power connector and the PCB and the standby light should go on.
  3. Then click the power button and the power lights should go on.
  4. The -5V regulator is option and if your power supply does not provide -5V then you can solder that in as well. Once the regulator is installed the -5V light should go on as well.
