there is an easy test to verify this before you try it. simply plug in the processor module and boot up the machine. then use a volt meter to see what voltage is on that post (it should be in parallel with some of the pins on the connector, so it should be at whatever voltage it should be tied to when the module is plugged in). if it turns out to have +12v on it, jumper it to a drive cable as suggested.
if it's +5v jumper it to that, any other voltage and you'll have to be a little more creative to jumper it. i'd definitely jumper it to the supply it is designed to go to, as this will reduce current through the processor connector and heat generated by the high current draw through that connector. lowering the connector temperature will make it far more reliable and much less likely to fail in the future.
