Hi rkenthudson,

Jumping +5VSB supplies standby power to the USB ports.

Example : In its current state (VCC), if you put your PC to sleep, the only devices capable of waking it up are turned off.  

If you'd like to be able to wake your PC using your USB devices, change the jumper setting.

The green 5VSB LED illuminates when an active power source is connected to the board, while the red VCC LED illuminates when the board is powered on.

Hope this helps.
