Thread: Intel GLY2A and Opus 150 Watt Issue

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a unit from Chris over at MCS. Great service btw! I have an issue with the GLY2A and hooking it up to an existing Opus. The unit came with an M2-ATX but since I had an old Opus hooked up from before that worked awesome I figure let me just hook that up and see if I can get it to post.

Here's the steps I took:

1. Installed my hard drive since it didn't have that (no problems)
2. Hooked up my motherboard connector and the 4 pin connector (yellow and black) and the hard drive power.
3. Get the power switch from the Opus and put it into the jumpers on the motherboard. This is the green and white cable coming from the Opus.
4. Take it out to my car and plug in the power to the Opus. Great, my motherboard light is on so its getting power OK.
5. Turn on the car and the CPU fan turns on for around 3 seconds and then stops spinning. The motherboard light continues on.

I've since brought the system back into my home. I can't quite remember if the Opus fan was running while the car was on but I'm going to assume so. I know the OPUS works great because it was powering another machine for a while.

What would signify on the Intel GLY2A that the fan is on for a few seconds? I couldn't find much help on the Intel website.

Is there anything else I could possibly try?

Also to clarify how I just wanted the OPUS to work, it looks like this:
