I know...this is stupid
Bought a new Antec NEO 550. Completely installed, connected, turne
on. NOTHING. Checked AC cord with meter. Got 110VAC. Tried anothe
known working mobo & drive. Nothing.
Am I correct in assuming that it must be enabled by a power switc
function off the mobo? Unfortunately wisked outatown before I coul
check this out. Now wondering in a hotel
 
Yes. There should be a set of pins on the MB that connect to a momentary
pushbutton switch on the case to turn the power on.

I tried the NeoHE 430 on my A64 X2 3800+ system, and it would not POST.
Nada, zip, zilch. Swapped in an Antec SmartPower 400w and all is good.
Apparently, there is a significant failure rate among the NeoHE series.
