put one side of the mm,normally the red on an exposed side of the wire or rail u want to test. then touch the other side to grd. to get accurate readings,make sure the rails are plugged in and working (pulling a load) when u test... these voltages are nominal and arent strong enuff to bite u (3.3v 5v 12.0v) just dont mess around inside the psu cause threre is a tiger in there and the capacitors can really knock u on your *** or worse........
