I just bought a used intel s5000psl from ebay, it was just the bare board with 2 xeon 5140 and 4gb of ram. Ive got a 680w atx power supply plugged upto the board, it didnt come with a case/rack so i just made a makeshift case out of the cardboard box for testing, i found the technical product spec and found that the power button pins are 11 and 13 on the panel connector so i hooked up a button to those but when i click it when the status led is solid green nothing happens, the cpu and system fans never start up and neither does the fan on the psu.
When i plug in the psu the blue led comes on then the status led is solid green with amber blinking then its just solid green for a bout a minute, then both the green and amber are solid.
any info on why im not getting anything from this board would be greatly appreciated.
