You do need to touch the "posts" with the screwdriver. Just switching the PSU on (switch on the back) won't turn the computer on. Connecting the posts simulates hitting the power button on the case.

WOAH... be careful. If you installed both power adapters you can damage your drive. Install the two L shaped connectors, that's it. One for power the other for data.
