It wouldn't be a surprise to me if you were the first person world wide to try and do this with this powersupply.
You can check the Poweredge M1000e documentation, but don't be too surprised if you don't find anything about the pin-out as it's irrelevant if you use the powersupply for what it was uniquely designed.
Thank you for your reply. You may be right, I may be the first to try this. I had to give it a go as it appears to be an extremely high output supply with great regulation.
Since posting my question I have had a go with some test equipment and, with a bit of experimentation and some luck, have managed to get the power supply and fan to run. I have put a load on it and it works well so far. I will be testing it under a higher load and running it for a 24 hour period to prove whether it is OK or not.
I guess this won't be of a great deal of interest to anyone, but if in the years to come these power supplies end up in computer graveyards then feel free to contact me with any questions.
I too am in the same boat with these things at 25 bucks a pop on eBay my boss picked up now four and we still haven't been able to get them running. Don't know if I have a different model? "7001333-J100 OR Z2360-00" CN-0U898N-15544-981-3735-A00 DP/N 0U898N. It is the 240V model and shorting the above pins together did nothing. Also I have traced ground pins on the 24 pin connector to different locations than the above picture assuming the three diagonal black pins are ground. oh and figuring out the high amperage pins were pretty easy, 2 of them are -V, 2 of them are +V. I have even tracked down the appropriate mating Molex connectors if you're willing to pay $8 each, buy at least 10 they're cheaper.
Looking for an alternative knock off supplier as boss doesn't like $8 each but also didn't buy 10x of them and only got 8x so it was more expensive and we don't have spares.

Maybe you could post the info you have here for those that in the future do a search about this powersupply.
Things like the pin-out and such come to mind to help others that are as adventurous.

Hi,
I have the Z2360P power supply. Could you please clarify the image you posted to switch on this power supply?
So, i would have to connect orange + yellow+green to switch on?
what about the 3 black pins, do i need to also connect them together?
what about the red+purple color, what does it mean?
Appreciate your help. thanks

I have also started a Reddit page for the same. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/zg1lqd/server_psu_smps_pin_out_help_for_alternative_use/
