I found that out when I was bench-testing a PSU what wouldn't turn
on when not installed.  The work-around was to jumper two pins.
Don't remember which of the top of my head, but you one could
easily google it on AltaVista to find out which pins.

I gotta wonder how many people trashed a PSU for that very reason.
