The steps are reversed!  First plug in the power cable, then flip the
switch on, _then_ jumper the green wire.  Some use a 'momentary' jump,
others have to keep the jumper on.  

I'm pretty sure one of those two indicates a 'fault', but haven't yet
figured out which.  Then again, one way (or the other) might just be a
change to accomodate the newer MBs which support the "boot after power
failure" mode.   :-((


     Good luck...  M.
