It's really easy.

Just jump the green wire and any black wire.

Use it for testing the PSU or fans and stuff.

hmm, i read somewhere that starting the PSU without enough load on it... i.e without a mobo and a few drives would screw the psu up real bad?

If you fear that you don't have enough load, then plug in some fans and optical drives and hdd's. You'll be just fine

Yeah that is true with most electronics, like power boxes \ amplifiers \ anything that is supplying power for something basically. If you run it without anything to release the load onto. it will cause damage after an extented period of time . Its like having a fire going in a small room and usingthe heat to move something. then all teh sudden you close that source thats running off the fire and the fire gets bigger and bigger with no where to go and eventually destroys it self. BUT little bits at a time wont do much. Just thought id let ya guys know.

ive ran dozens of psus like this for weeks without any load and not had a single problem. urban legends are fantastic these days.

If you are real concerned though, just take a single hard drive and connect it to the psu. This is also true if you have jumped the psu and it wont start. Some older ATX PSU wont start without load.
