Config 1:
Above I thought you said I do need the board pictured below
- gold power brick
- ARIII
- 5v 3a switcher for CPU board power
I mentioned it depended upon the use of an ARIII vs the brick with the switcher. But I had to clarify that later since PB also has an external switcher.
Because PP and CS were conversions for each other, If you have an ARIII no, if you have a switcher, yes.
That is a 5v switcher, probably replacing the OEM one as it looks like that's mounted next to where the OEM would have been attached to the wooden blocks.I think I'm getting terms confused. The 5v switcher is this
Ah, missed this edit.. No those are not the same thing. Left hand side is a 5v 3a switching power supply (PB OEM switching power supply A043168-01). Right hand side is the Audio 2 amplifier board (A043661-01).
Well, I'd rather not see you toss it, but yes it's not needed when the ARIII is used (config 1).So this board in a paperboy with a set up with ARIII, gold brick with 2 big blues I can toss this
Not sure what you mean by 2 big blues either?
