Yes, that is my understanding - it should be there as you say.

Oops!  Not a good sign.  Maybe something got shorted somewhere or caused
some power surge which blew an internal PS fuse?

Just a thought - - FWIW, while bench testing multiple CDROM drives and
trying to hot-plug in power connector to them, I've sometimes caused the
testbed ATX PS to shut itself down,  but the PS generally started
working again after a few minutes cooling down period.  The testbed has
a good-quality PS - Astec as bir.  Maybe a less expensive PS would have
blown a fuse?
