yes you can definitely plug them in and test them there's nothing in them that needs to be connected to a motherboard (or anything for that matter) to function properly
I wouldn't. I inadvertently did that with the power supply in a C610. Killed it very fast. A C610 and a 6100 take the same power supply. I don't know if the 7100 is the same. Some switching power supplies are quite picky about having a load attached. Some aren't.

> the unit ?Hi Listers, i have power supplies from a 7100 and an 8500 that I want to test. My question is can I plug them into the AC and turn them on without also being plugged into the motherboard. Or will this kill
The other issue is, CAN you turn them on without a motherboard attached. Both are soft start. The 7100 does have a manual button but the 8500 doesn't, IIRC.
