But you still need a dummy load to turn the power supply ON.
Antec makes a nice tester that makes using a DVM easy.

| | Thank you for your reply. You do have to unplug the 20-pin
connector from
| the motherboard and plug it into the device. A green light
indicates the
| power supply is OK. The only instructions I have are
printed right on the
| device. There is nothing about a 12v P4 connector. I
looked, but I could not
| find any information on the PC Power & Cooling site where
this device is
| sold.
