Check input cables. Measure voltage on the un-switched 12V. You should get about 12V. Measure the un-switched pin
(red) while turning the car ON/OFF. You should see 12V (car on) or 0V (car off).
b) Motherboard is not turning ON (cont).
Check your output cables. Ensure total system power consumption does not exceed the M2-ATX specifications.
c) Motherboard is not turning ON (cont).
Make sure that either J8 or J9 is properly connected to the ON/OFF switch of your M/B.
