Applying +5V to the Test Point 1 node (TP1) and

HDMI MICRO grounding the Test Point 2 (TP2) will supply power to
ETHERNET USB the Raspberry Pi if you do not wish to use the Micro
USB to supply power.

Please note, there are differences between

Raspberry Pi SD Rev 1.0 boards and Rev 2.0 boards GPIO Pins! (Rev 2.0 shown)
USB Model B CARD Also, there are two widely used number schemes
that depend on which class library (BCM or Wiring Pi)
Rev 2.0 that you intend to use to control the pin outputs.

Sainsmart 8ch 5-V Relay Board

8 7
6 5
The relay board is “active low” which means the relays are
switched on when the inputs have a low voltage (0V) applied
to them. Since the GPIO pins output 3.3V when active, this
circuit will effectively short the relay board input to ground
4 3 2 1 making it 0V and will activate the relay.

During normal operation, when a relay is active, it’s terminals

A and B are connected. When de-activated, B and C are
A B C A B C A B C A B C A B C A B C A B C A B C connected. A and C are never connected.
