Pin 16 voltage?

[Ravendarat]

I need to power up my psu without a mobo. I have a pin out for the 24 pin, pin 16 is listed as power on, Will that be a 12 v, 5v, 3.3v or ground signal?

Short 16 and 17 with a paper clip.

Pin 16 will need to be jumped to any black pin below to switch the unit on.

 

This can be done with a paperclip, twist tie wire, or even a fork, although I'd not suggest using a fork.
