Hi all,
I put together my new build today, went to turn it on, and nothing.
I have the raidmax super hurricane case. I'm using a corsair 750W psu and an Asrock H97 mobo.
When I plug the LED connectors, Power SW connectors, and Reset SW connectors into my mobo, turn on the PSU, then hit the power button on the case, nothing happens.
I'm concerned about the orientation of the 2-pin connectors for power and reset. The wires are both black. There is a triangle on one side - does this signify power or ground? I currently have them as power.
It is to my understanding that the super hurricane's LEDs stayed on unless the PSU was off, but I may be wrong. The LEDs are not on.
What are the steps I should take to diagnose this problem?
