How to plug well a switch on pi1

Hi Guys,

I'm try to find what is the best way to plug a switch like this one on my rpi1.
Which GPIO should I use ?

Thanks

There are two kinds of people in this world.
Those who recognize the white box in your picture..
... and those who don't.

We that don't recognize it (and I believe we outnumber the other ones) have no chance of helping unless you decide to fill in the missing details.

I recognize it, but I want to understand how the on/off put is plugged iNsidE on GPIO to build the Same one !!!
(There is a cap-hint in this sentence)

I don't recognise the box, but it has a Pi inside it :)

Do you want the switch to control the power or to be connected to the GPIO pins to perform some other function?
