3 Listen for the power supply fan and feel for air at the
back of the unit where the power supply is located.
If air is not coming from the power supply fan, isolate a
possible faulty power cable as follows:
•

•
Install a new or “known good” power supply.

coming into the system.
If air is coming out of the power supply fan vent but is
not coming into the connector panel fan vent, the

the motherboard (see
