...to the other psu.
"The Lian-Li Dual Power Supply Adapter is an OEM cable that will power up two power supplies when the motherboard is turned on. This cable can be used with both 24 pin and 20 pin ATX motherboards."
On the connector with all the 24 wires on it, the end NOT connected to another 25 pin connector (the one with a black and green wire), connect that to the motherboard.
Now connect the other end of that one, to your primary psu, and the one with the black and green to your secondary psu. The black and green will short the secondary psu active pins to make it think it is also connected to a motherboard.
That sounds confusing even with me reading it, let me know if it is not clear.

lol or two paper clips and some tape. so that way when you power on one, you power on the other.

I suspose you could, if you wanted, get a relay and wire that up so when you hit the power button, the relay latches on and powers the backup PSU on, but when you press it again to turn the computer off, that PSU kicks back off. |
