Default Antec 900 users...
I gotta ask this... my little blue LED light that is supposed to show the power only turns on when I switch the PSu switch off then back on again..... then the light is on (the system is still off though)...

so right now i have yet to press the power button, and the light is a constant on... once I press the power button to turn the computer on, the light goes out and will not come again until the next time press the switch on the back of the PSU (which i never do until I need to get inside the system). Do I have this hooked up wrong or is this normal behaviour??? Seems backwards to me......


sorry if this sounds confusing...

To my knowledge the Antec 900 does not have a power LED. The only LED is for HDD/IDE Activity.

^ This is true. The only led on the front is for hard drive activity.

Incorrect.

It depends on how you plug the jumper in :)

I supposethis is true.

If youconnectedthe LED connects for the HDD to the power pins it would work that way...

Still does not explain why the LED illuminates when the power is OFF.

I would suggest reading your MOBO user manual and reading the connector leads toensure you are connected to the correct pins.
