Beginners • Re: I have 3 A charger block and 2.4 A cable. Can I use it to run Raspberry PI 5 without peripheral devices?

While the detailed power figures for a Pi5 have not yet made it into the documentation, a Pi5 without peripherals is unlikely to exceed 2A. Your 2A4 cable might be marginal due to voltage drop, but a 3A supply is adequate if it maintains 5V at 3A. There isn't a lot left for SSDs, cameras, or other extras.

The tutorial you quote is out of date and in places inaccurate or at least incomplete. I suggest trying to find something more recent. MagPi might be a good place to start, basic connection can be found in the Raspberry Pi "Getting started".
