I use a paper clip or a piece of wire all the time to power up a psu and have never damaged a psu from it, or even shocked myself.

All you need to do is make sure you only connect I think it's the green to any black cable on the 24 pin connector, and it will power up the psu as if you had pressed the power button.

I now have a 24 pin extension cable that I use for it, as it's the safest way to power up a psu to fill a water loop and it's a common way to do it, if you don't have a external power supply for doing it.
