You need to ground it. I don't know how to signal a power off. If you are curious, the reason I know this is because I have a nail attached to that pin, and my normal power switch alligator clipped to that nail, and a grounded portion of my case. I use this to turn my box on (you have to hold down for a few seconds). The reason is that my motherboard decided (probably traumatized) not to listen to power on requests anymore. But it still knows how to turn itself off through the normal hardware. -Gryn (Adam Luter) > You could try hacking together another powersupply to run some of the > harddisks...
