5u Server Replacement Power Supply Question

Alright so I got a 5u server and on power up all the lights come on for about 5 seconds then turn off so it looks like the power supply is gone.

So if I get a power supply that is 470 watts and has the connectors I need it will work right? I have identified these are the connectors that were being used (1-24 pin, 1-4 pin 12v and 4 molex).

I have seen a few on ebay with the correct plug orientation so just want to make sure I got this understood correctly before I make a mistake.
 
All up and running.

Ended up finding a similar used power supply that had the connectors on it that I needed for 20 bucks
I would recommend all who have a 5u server to grab a spare power supply sooner rather than later as they will become harder to find.
 
It is Enermax Model: EG475AX-VE(W). Below is a link for its specs:

If you are looking for one here is one on Ebay that will suffice:

What I ended up doing and this might work for you as well is find a place that sells recycled computer power supplies. Take your power supply out and take it down. You want the plug orientation to be the same and you need the connectors that I mentioned previously.

Good luck!!
