I built it without it, but I saw something else that's been mentioned before 
here:

Which looks a little worrisome.  Its done, so I'll see if it will boot.

It did.  I had several items that failed on the shutdown, NDI why, but 
everything seemed to restart ok.  Now to live with it for a day or so.
