Yes, I would agree that it has something to do with those signals.=20
PS_ON Should be low (grounded) to power up the PSU. PWR_OK is asserted=20
high (+5V) when all +12 VDC, +5 VDC, and +3.3 VDC voltages are within the=
=20
specs.

Since the AS200 MoBo seems to miss the PWR_OK input you will probably be=20
able leave that signal unconnected. Have you checked if the PWR_OK=20
signal is present in a second connector on the AS200 PSU? The PS_ON signal=
=20
should be connected to GND or to a On/Off switch that ties it to GND when=
=20
the switch is set to "On".

Cheers,
Anders
