Because the moderators redacted your serial number, we are stuck. On the label where you found the serial number should also be a model number. See if you can find that.
If you only have the serial number, consider a non-Apple lookup site that is not a forum setting with millions of users. That function is here:

if you can not easily find your required power adapter from this apple article, Readers can help you identify which model you have and which power adapter would be required and available.

¿Do you indeed have a Mac Pro desktop?
¿How did you decide its power supply has failed?
(There may be other symptoms related to power that can be solved by solutions that fall short of replacing the supply.)

Mac Pro is a 42 lb desktop computer with an integral power supply, about 20 inches tall.
I will suggest to the Moderators that this discussion be move to the MacBook Pro discussions area

Much obliged. I was able to determine it was an early 2008 Mac Pro. I finally got the box tire sorry and found the model number if the power supply. Thanks again.
