APM 2.5 compassmot without Power Module

Hi everyone, 

Ive been a casual browser of this forum and its such a wonderful resource! But I couldnt really find any help on the forums so excuse my noob question! I currently have an APM 2.5 (for multicopter) powered by ESCs (turnigy plush) with the the jumper on the JP1. 

I wanted to know if it was safe for me to power the APM with both the ESCs supplying power and the usb (without frying anything)? As I would need to connect it to Mission Planner to run CLI for compassmot.

Or would I have to remove the jumper from JP1 and power the output circuitry of the board with the esc and the input circuitry with the usb?

Any help is appreciated! thanks!
