Can I convert this Samsung Server Powersupply to a normal ATX powersupply?

First of all, I am sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I have just picked up up a 660watt Samsung Powersupply from a server and am looking into converting it to use as a normal ATX powersupply. It is model PSCV661501D, here is the ling to Samsung.

On the side of the powersupply it lists the pinouts for the wiring:
+3.3VDC ---- Orange
+5.0VDC ---- Red
+12.0VDC -- Yellow
-5.0VDC ---- White
-12.0VDC --- Blue
P/G ---------- Orange
PS-ON ------ Brown
Remote ---- Green
Fault ------- Yellow
Returning(GND) ----Black

Are all the correct wires there, do I even have a chance? and if so does anyone know the molex part number for an ATX style motherboard connector? The previous owner said he had been able to get it to turn on by jumping some of the wires together, which are the remote and ground and also +3.3vdc and ground, I have yet to power it on yet, just want to make sure this is correct.

Thanks for the advice.
 
This link may help (warning, it's a .pdf, you'll need acrobat reader or equivalent)

Somewhere towards the end it shows the ATX pinout, gives a Molex part number for the connector, and then briefly describes the function of the signal lines.

You can probably find the molex connector online someplace, like digikey or newark.
 
I picked up a bunch of conectors @ jameco.com. Remember to get the crimp pins too. they never come with the connectors.
 
I found it easier to just buy an ATX extender & then chop it in half.....I could get them for like $3 at a local computer store.
 
Assuming all the needed wires match up and there is no custom control circuit, it should work, I would think.
