In this view, note the Pogo Supression System (large, silver sphere just upstream of the High Pressure Oxidizer Turbopump (HPOTP)), which dampens out pressure oscillations in the oxidizer system. Also note, below and just left, the Main Engine Controller (large black box with all the connectors), which is the 'brain' of the engine.
