In the figure above you can see the actual position of the D+ and D- joint points. After 

mounting the USB hub under Raspberry Pi, one USB port on Raspberry Pi is taken by 

the USB hub (as upstream port) and it could not be used by other USB devices. 

Thanks to the 4 pogo pins, now your Raspberry Pi has 10 usable USB ports without 

connecting any USB cable! 

 

 
If you don’t want to use the back-powering, just take out the pogo pins from their 
holders. After doing so, you will need two power supplies, one for the USB hub and 

the other for Raspberry Pi. You will need a mini-USB cable for connecting the USB 

hub to your Raspberry Pi. Also the jumper should be placed to the opposite side 
against “power link”.
