I'm trying to test one of my c6100 xs23-ty3 blade(s) to find out if I have issue with a blade(s) or a chassis slot(s).

I purchased a couple ATX 24Pin 24 Pin 24P + CPU 8Pin 8P to Mini 18Pin 18P http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6175344145.html to power the main board via an atx power supply. I power everything up and the boards small leds light up but that's as far as it goes.

Question: Does any one know how to make the board power up/boot since there are no power buttons or switches? Do I need to create a jumper somewhere? Thanks for the input!

By they way the power adapter cables are actually good quality....

Usually by attaching the cables to the board and power on ur atx, press the rear on button will power up the system.

For external on/off switch, you may:

Remove the close loop cable and replace with on/off switch's cables.

Or



Above shows direct connect to the board with close loop cable remain.

You may reference from my current setup but may not be very clear as thats the only photo i have right now.

Thanks! Looks like my board is fried or one of my cpus is bad it will not even post. CPU0 just gets really host when I power it up. Ill try replacing it with CPU1 and see if it will post.

Has any one ever had any experience with alternative mainboards with this chassis?
