The screw is about track power - AC or DC - and the firmware flashing is the system-changer.
The SSD position engages a diode bridge so it can run with the AC of an SSD powerbase. In that position, it’ll also work fine with Carrera and a DC oXigen layout - just with a small voltage drop. The other position gives full power on a DC-only set-up, undoubtedly important for the big oXigen races.
MrF’s solution is a sensible one. However, moving the screw is more handy than soldering for most people when moving from a home SSD or SSD/oXigen track to an oXigen race event. It is also far more secure than a slide switch.
