Question about Propeller Activity Board

I've been working on a project, but I'm confused by this statement in the user guide for the propeller activity board.
Does this mean I can't use the I/O pins simultaneously with the servo ports ? Thanks.

14) Power Switch
The power switch has 3 settings:
 0 — off
 1 — power to the microcontroller system, including the P0-P15 via the I/O pin access socket
 2 — power to the microcontroller system and servo ports; see 5) Servo Ports for details.

    Position 2 doesn't turn off anything. It just adds power to the servo ports.

    Setting the switch to position 1 lets you load programs without having to worry about the robot driving away.
