SX48 Proto Board servo power

I want to power the servo headers on the SX48 Proto Board with Vdd, not Vin (I'm connecting them to an RC-4). Is that just a matter of soldering a little jumper wire here?

    Steve,

    ·· Yes, you can do that.· Typically these holes are used for jumpers like we have on the BOE, but you certainly can hard-wire them if you know you won't need to change them regularly.· Take care.

    BTW, the Sx-Proto board's power switch is 3-position. All off/Servo off but processor on/All on.
    Having fogotten this little detail provided me with a very frustrating afternoon.
