When I plug my 3x4 Rosewill hotswap cage in to power, the machine "tries to boot" for about 1 second and then shuts down. When I unplug the power from it, the machine will turn on/get to the BIOS. I have tried it with and without the drives installed, and same non boot. I put the cage in a different computer and that computer booted up, so I don't think the issue is with the cage itself.  Any thoughts on this? Thank you

Does the same happen if only the power is connected to the cage? No SATA.

Yes. Just power connected will keep it from booting.

That suggests a short or not enough power.

Pull the Rosewill cage from your server.  Connect the cage with power... and no drives installed.  (The cage will be hanging in air so to speak...)  IF it does bootup, check that a mounting screw might making contact with something it should not be touching.  Check the cage is not being warped as it is being installed.  Sloppy tolerances or workmanship could be issues.  (Both case and/or cage could be the problem here.)

No joy. Removed the cage and drives. I’m going to pull the GPU, LAN, perc h310 and see if that does anything.

Edit: doing those things didn’t fix it. It’s just power. Corsair HX650 modular power supply. Which has 4 outputs for either SATA or peripherals. I’ve tried two different cables to power the cage, and it does the same thing.

Should I try a different power supply?

A different power supply is working. I find it odd since I tried all 4 power outputs on the other PSU and they all worked for the sata power cables but not the 4 pin molex.
