FAQ & Answers
Are you sure the 24-pin connector to the motherboard from PSU is "Female"? This is the first time that I have heard of that.
By the way, have you tried to use these connectors from the new PSU to the PC? This five pin connector still can be used to the PCIe six pin connector on the motherboard, just one pin disabled.
initially I had bought an adapter then realized that it was completely wrong.

The picture attached by you is for HP PCs. I believe the 6-pin connector still won't fit TC-895. It will be a headache for most people to do it right. Let's see @Jagger will get it done later.

You mean you grounded it to the case?

With our original PSU on (in TC-875-UR13), we are getting ~ 5 V through the green wire (to PS_ON) & 12 V through the yellow ones, as expected.
Why I was asking about the 5v is it talks about the power signals using 5v, at this website here.. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/blog/convert-atx-psu-to-bench-supply.html -- its not exactly the same, but it is similar in the sense a atx power supply is being modified for use in something that does not natively support it.
This is from another post, but its relevant to the issue at hand..

The TC-875-UR13 has a 300w PSU
I ended up downgrading to TC-885 (prior yr model) to circumvent this exact issue that you are facing now.
