Update 3:

I switched around my + & - and put them in series with the ASIC chip. I turn on PSU; Fan starts up then quits & the PSU shuts off. What could be my problem? I am using a 12V rail that is meant for 12A and I only need 1.2Watts / 10Amps per blade.

Problem:
Led light behind the ethernet port starts blinking when I initially power the board, but it shuts off.
PSU works when not connected to ASIC board.

Possibilities:
Bad PSU
Pulling to many amps from ASIC board
PSU not supplying advertised voltage

Other:
Fuse is working (tested em with diode checker)
Fans come on when not plugged into ASIC (using other 12V Rail to power the fans)
Only reading about 11.5-11.3V on multimeter when no fans are plugged in.
No smoking of the equipment as of yet =P

That doesn't sound right. Don't they need 120Watts per blade? as per OP
