Won't you spare me over til another year?

Recently got a Sonnet xMac Pro Server case to put my MacPro6,1 into my rack. I'm getting things fitted into the Thunderbolt expansion housing and noticed this board with a socket on it. The board has power wired from the PSU, but there's nothing in the manual/product details (even though it's in the illustrations) that indicate what this connector is or what its intended purpose is. Can anyone enlighten me?

Edit: I just looked up a video of a version of this module with an outer case, for desktop use. Otherwise looks the same inside. It looks like this might provide power to 2 top-rear mounted fans. https://youtu.be/zG4I8q5JbyY?t=285&si=43mA0xhR-7ETQgPd

Obviously, I'm unqualified to diagnose myself with EDS, but there's several signs I'm seeing after reading the article posted here, and family members bringing it up as a potential cause/link to another medical condition of mine.

At the end of this month I have a new patient intake appointment with a Primary Care Physician (US healthcare unfortunately.) I'd like to ask them to help me determine if I might have a form of EDS. I've known since I was a child that I have hypermobility, but never knew EDS was even a thing or that it could impact other areas of health and the body, and the more I read into it the more "symptoms" I find that I just thought were odd but part of my funky physiology (scarring, bruising, digestion, foot pain have stood out the most.)

As I'm reading more and more into the forms of EDS and its traditional testing methods, I can't help but wonder if this doctor (or most others) will be hesitant or refuse to test for it. I'm not looking to get much more than knowledge for myself concerning the way my body behaves; I certainly don't expect or want a doctor to diagnose me and start throwing treatments on it.

This leads me to my question(s): Has anyone here that's been diagnosed with a form of EDS felt they were largely dismissed by their doctors, regarding EDS or testing? Also, for those that have been diagnosed, do you feel the diagnosis was ultimately helpful or hurtful to you and/or your treatment during medical care?

TIA

I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

If anyone had any tips/tricks for any of these models, idy love to hear them! I want to do these right by their awesomeness and make them look good!

I'm curious if anyone has tried alternative OSes on an EOL Chromebook?

Ive read using brunch can keep them receiving updates (without losing Android/Linux containers)

I tried out bliss is from a live usb last night and it was okay. Honestly the 3 launcher options just send to compete with each other.

Anyone tried any others out? If so, which ones, what was your experience like?

This thing was a simple kit made into a beast with the way I went about layering blacks to get one that was slightly lighter than black-black and kept some of the metallic of the base coat. I'd have done another but it wouldn't go with what I have planned for it without the different head types for the V. Oh well, 2/3 done! This is my take on the Victory coloring for the Rear Shrike Corps from Crossbone Ghost.
