<pre wrap="">Hello all,
I am working through installing a Zotac ION into my existing Antec
Fusion case. The LCD display appears to be powered by a 3pin cable
wired into the standard 24 pin atx power plug. I have an A series ION
that comes with the external power brick.
The three pin connector has a black, red and purple wire connected
into the ground, +5V and +5VSB.
Would anyone have any suggestion as to how I could get the display to
work? I don't care that I can not turn the unit on with the power
button on the remote, I just want the display?
Thanks
Phil

<pre wrap="">So you've got the power plugged in, I presume. There should also be a
USB connector, and possibly a molex power connecter, as well. (I don't
have the Zotac ION, just the VFD that came with the Antec Fusion, and
that's what came with it.) What other connectors do you have besides
the 3-pin power cable?

Hi Dale,
The display was a USB connector and a three wire cable that plugs into
three wires that come from the 24 pin ATX connector that comes with
the power supply in the Antec case. Ther is also the two wire power
switch connector so that the display can power on the motherboard.
As I have removed the Antec power supply from the case because the ION
board has its own power brick/DC supply I have nowhere to take the
feed from. I was thinking of running it from the hard drive connector
but am concerned about just doing this without a little bit of
additional knowledge.
Cheers

Phil, <br>
I bought an Antec Multimedia station Premier that is powered the
same way. It looks like it only grabs power from the 5V standby line
(the purple wire). <br>
My LCD only draws 100mA of current, so I jumpered it to the 5v line of
the USB. <br>
