M2-ATX Power Supply problem

[shlomis123]

Hi,
I am trying to activate an old robot (WhiteBoxRobotics 914 PC-BOT) as part of a lab project I am doing, and it is activated by two M2-ATX power supplies.

The robot had two old ones (probably from around 2006-7), and they had a problem of only outputting 12V without outputting 5V (which is needed for some of the robot's features), as shown in image 1.
I bought a new pair of M2-ATXs and connected it the exact same way as the old ones, where one of them (the main one, left in the image) is connected in mode P1 (where a single jumper is connected in the A port) and the other one is working in PSU mode (no jumpers at all), as shown in image 2.

When I tried to use the robot the same way as before, the PSU one did not seem to output any current at all.

As shown in mini-box's website (the company that manufactures it) they updated the way PSU mode works in 2008~, and featured a UPS mode.
I am a computer science student and not engineering student, I have no experience with electronics what so ever.
Please help on making the PSU mode work as it should, outputting 12V and 5V.
Thanks!

I tried to upload the images directly but failed, so I am linking it:

I had a similar problem with a UPS. (Its internal battery bank was good.) I plugged in an appliance hoping the UPS would startup immediately as a power inverter but it delivered no power. I found the UPS needed to start up powered from mains, and then unplugged. After that it acted as a normal UPS.

I poked around inside and found a relay which I had to manually change its state, before the UPS circuitry turned on and delivered power to its AC receptacle.

Thanks for the reply!
As I've said, I have no experience with these kind of things, can you share a tutorial/explain a bit on how to find the exact relay and manually change its state?
