Chris Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Ummm yes (ish)but you'll get a no mouse or board message that may prevent it from going further...or it will boot straight to windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ellas Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 moon have faith,my betting is it will post first time,just assembly everything and change the bios to boot from cd and stick your disc in ;) oh you will have to set it to boot from raid and then create a array in the raid bios.

Guest Grim Reaper Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 is the power SWITCH connection to the mobo correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 There doesn't seem to be a 'Soft Power Connector ' at all. Is that it ?Sorry, what's missing is the 'Message LED/Power/Sleep LED. I had the 'Power Switch' connected to that. I've moved it and I'll try again, but the missing one is a worry. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
