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.

The CX600M comes with only 2 PCI-E connectors, so that is all that were used.  It seems like the 600W model should be enough for 2 blades, but perhaps the suggestions that the unit is faulty are correct.  I will order a different model next week.
