I have this http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/oic0/Temp Pics/DSC00113.JPG
It powers on and the fan spins but my multimeter reads no outputs from any of the lines. I need to know how to get it to put out power and if anyone knows the pinout that would be awesome, though if I can get it to make juice I can figure that out with my multimeter.

its for an hp dl-380 server. Its 12v @ 47 amps, 5v @ 7 amps, and -12 @ 0.5 amps.
 
How did you power it up ? Normally a PC power supply needs the green (usually) pin 14 wire in the atx connector to be grounded before it will supply power to the rails. Just truning on the power switch in the back just puts it in the standby mode. I cannot tell from the picture if it even has a normal ATX power harness. If it does use the "paper clip trick" (you can google that for more info/picture) by using a paper clip to short pin 14 to any black wire on the connector and it should show voltage on the connectors. Do not leave it jumpered for a long time (10's of minutes), some supplies like a load and a few even require a load.
 
Nope, no standard ATX harness. That plug in the picture is all it has. Its a hot swappable redundant psu. It has no switches on it but when it is plugged in the fan starts spinning (keeps humming along for a good 30 seconds after being unplugged too lol). The fan is all that powers up though. I want to do the ground out the power on lead thing and get it running but I have no idea which one of those little pins is the right one lol.
 
My goggle-fu is weak today. You screwed. All I can suggest is getting the backplane that supply plugs into at least then you will have some cabling to buzz out.

Power supply backplane 365065-001

Have seen it fairly cheap. Here is only good picture I found of it.

I dug and dug looking for anykind of pinout for either the supply or the backplane, no joy.

Good luck .
 
Same here. I even put up a 5 dollar bounty on a pinout on mahalo.com after a night of googling left me with nothing.
The psu cost 18 shipped, I thought 47 amps for 18 bucks! can't beat that! Guess my frugality bit me on the rear. I'll let the bounty sit a couple days and if it gets me nowhere, backplane here I come.
