I have purchased a new S3 and Corsair CX600 psu.  I set everything up and when I connected the PCI-E connectors to the S3 the psu quit working.
I was able to reset it and tested it and it ran o.k. but as soon as I connected it to the S3 it stopped again. I do not get any lights on the miner.
I am unable to connect to to the web setup presumably because the S3 is not getting any power.  I will appreciate any help/suggestions.  Thanks.

I use the 650RM and works fine.

You may need a 650 or only plug two plugs, one in each blade to make it work as it is.

If this works with only two PCI-E, you'll need a 650RM like mine.

If this doesn't work, you may have a faulty PSU; doesn't sound like a miner problem.

Hope this helps.
