Hi,

I have just received my new Delta 1010. The problem is that it doesn't
work - the power lights does not even light when I try to power it up.
Using a volt meter on the DC end of the PSU gives no reading so it looks
like a deas PSU. I have checked that the PSU "hums" so it isnt the fuse in
the plug (UK).

Has anyone come across this problem before?

Looks like I should get it exchanged.

Thanks

I think the 1010 requires 9V AC power.
Test again with the meter on the AC setting.

I had it once, and giving the rack a tap got it working again.
I think there is a relay that switches the power on in the rack when
the computer is powered up, and it had got stuck open.
You can normally hear it click when the computer is powered up.

Thanks, you are correct on both counts. The PSU produces AC and the unit
powers on when you power up the PC. You can hear the click and the relay
switches like you say.

You saved me a lot of bother and embarrasment!

Cheers
