No, ATX style power supplies (practically all are "ATX style", including what You have) don't start up until they get a signal FROM the MoBo, via the Motherboard connector.
That's why the easiest way for You to test it is to connect it to the motherboard, and then short the motherboard's pins (where the case pwr connector plugs into), as suggested earlier here.
You'd know the PSU works then, and can connect the case power connector to the MoBo (to test if that's what's broken).
