The power supply I have does not have a switch. It does have a momentary test switch. I would like to switch the power on from a Power strip. I know I need a load resistor to keep the power on. I have a grey,green,black and purple going to the test switch. I have two mauve looking wires which one is smaller than the other. The larger one went to the motherboard connector itself. I have a power resistor for the load and an led on light and 330 ohm resistors. I would like to know how to wire this up in order to keep the power on. I also planned on using a 1 amp fuse. I assume this goes to the powers hot leg and then to a black. The fuse holder I have is a 250vac/10amp. Thanks!!
