Hello,
I have an Antec "Truepower 480". I have connected all the 12+ and ground wires together on a terminal strip, with shunts, so I can use the power supply to operate some 5 amp, 12V fans. I have grounded the green wire and the unit will turn on, with internal fans running, and registers 12V on a meter. However, as soon as I apply the small load of a fan the unit immediately shuts down. The fan will make about 1 revolution. If I wait a minute or two I can turn it back on, but again, as soon as I try to apply a load it will shut down?? I have tried running the gray, Power OK wire to +5V, but that doesn't help? What do I have to do to get power out of this thing?
Thanks,
John
