Area-51 small pcb?
There is a small PCB behind the radiator on my Area-51.
Does anyone know what this part is called?
Does anyone have the part number?
Is there any additional information available for this board i.e. pin outs, tech manuals?
Thank you,

It seems to be a big mystery.
I posted what I know about it in this thread. If you have a good picture of it (and what is plugged into it), it would help this person.

Unlike their other machines, Dell has not released pinouts for even the common things like the motherboard or power-supply of the AW desktops (like they usually do). Much less, any of the Alien Technology. They won't even provide a simple block diagram to show where everything connects to.

That alone will scare away enthusiest. That and the word proprietary. I really worry about the direction the brand is going. I would hate to see it fade away.
