Do I need to update any firmware?

What is startboost?

Thanks,

You need to download 4.72 from the same place as 2012. 2012 doesnt support PA2 on USB, only as a slave on the A5.
Yes directly connect to USB header for config before you connect to A5.
Yes probably, though they may now be shipping with latest firmware. 4.72 will tell you what the latest firmware is and download it for you.
Startboost is used to over-ride the controllers current/voltage settings during startup. This is in case you have a high current/voltage device that needs max power for startup before the controller takes over with your assigned settings.
It can also be used to limit power for current surge which is how I use it to stop my fans from tripping an overcurrent at startup which would turn them off! 1 strand of fans in my setup peaks at 2.2Amps at startup so I have to use startboost set for 40% to help limit the current so it doesnt trip the protection circuit and turn them off!
