How can I find out if an older Dell PSU is ATX wired?

The PSU is an "NPS-200PB-73 M Rev. 3" . When I google it everyone who sells it calls it ATX, but I thought most if not all Dells were wired differently? It came out of an
Optiplex GX200. The wires are different colours compared to my other but that may not mean too much.

I think usually Dell does something different with there OSU's so that you can't replace them with a basic PSU ATX. You will need to buy through Dell if you want a new PSU.

Most older dells weren't atx wired and if you wanted a new psu you had to either go through dell or pcp&c. Now I think most dells use the atx standard.
Call dell and ask them.

I have the DEll Optiplex 240, assume same family as youe 200
I was advised not to use a "standard" power supply as it would kill the mobo.
