building a new system using a Dell GX300 and cannot power it up. am wondering if i have used the wrong power supply, a standard ATX or have I gotten the pin-out wrong on the control panel. From what I have been able to gather from other sites is that 6/8 are power on ? also will this board work with non-ecc rdram ?

Gx 300 Motherboard
128 meg non ecc Rambus
VXI VRM spec 8.3

In my dealings with Dell, the power supplies are often not standard, but proprietary, meaning that the PS needs to come from Dell as well as the Mobo. The pin-outs on the P1 Mobo connector are not the same for Dells and if you have hooked it to a standard power supply, well, it might be too late. Check the mobo book and then look on the net for a standard P1 pinout. See if they match.

Just a theory.
