What motherboard , it may be a proprietary board , that can't use a standard ATX power supply.

Some motherboards on prebuilts like hp and DELL use proprietary power supplies specifically made for that board.

What sort of PSU and motherboard would those be? A standard ATX/SFX PSU would have a main power connector with a 20-24pin (or 20+4) connector and a secondary 4/8/4+4 pin connector for ATX12V/EPS12.

You can't use a standard ATX power supply with that server board...Sorry.

Some Server boards like that one and hp Z Series is another one don't use standard ATX power supplies.

The model number for the actual motherboard would be useful... much easier than trying to guess what sort of proprietary thing your friend might have.
