Most of modern motherboads use 24 pin power connector (ATX 2.x). Older motherboards use different type that uses only 20 pin connector. ATX 2.x is usually backward compatible with older 20 pin connector.

The mother board, power supply, and chassis
If you do not have the hard drive in and connected correctly to the mobo, then the problem is the compatibility of the power supply to the mother board. (ie xt mother board vs AMD athelon.)
In order to remove the power supply board in a Hitachi 60UX58B, first unplug the TV. Then, unscrew the rear panel. Disconnect all parts that are connected to the power supply board. Remove the screws that are holding the power supply board to the chassis. Lift the power board off the chassis.
what indicates the power supply sending steady power to the system board
Yes. Assuming that your mobo has at least 2 SATA ports, 1 IDE port, and appropriate power cables are available from the power supply.
All power to a system comes through your power supply (or PSU), so yes the PSU can still power on, but the system will not work at all, so it will look like nothing is happening.
no you should not. You connect it to the PS1 power connection
-- a power supply -- a load -- low-resistance material to connect the load to the power supply
A computer power supply takes the AC power coming from a wall socket, and then converts it into lower-voltage DC to power all the components inside. Almost every component of a computer will connect directly to the power supply, with the exception of smaller parts such as fans, which can pull power through the motherboard.
The motherboard does not connect the power supply to the peripherals. The power is supplied directly to most peripherals such as HDDs and CD drives by cables from the power supply. Some special expansion cards, such as network cards, get enough power from the motherboard through the PCI slot to function.
