If you only plug in one of the power supplies, does the device still function but only running up half the boards at 250GH/s?

Just thinking about if a breaker trips.

Since this rig is running with a USB hub inside, yes, that is exactly what will happen.

When they start using xlink, it will depend on if the master board is taken out or not so if one PSU goes down, you could lose the whole rig.

I thought they had already been told about this problem at one of the trade shows?

Why have they not fixed this to date?

I'm pretty sure everyone considers it more important to get it delivered and mining...

POWER RESULTS

Ok. We plugged the minirig into a 20 amp 120v circuit that is rated for 100% utilization.

The results were that the minirig was using no less than 17 amps and would use up to 20 amps. The breaker does not trip but I am sure we are getting close to the edge.

If you take the high side of these results, aka, all boards pulling full wattage at the same time, the result is that you should plan for 2,400 watts for each 500Gh/s unit.

This works out to 4.5 watts per Gh/s plus overhead for all fans.

Please remember that this is being pulled from 2 PSUs so you could plug a minirig in at home on two seperate 15 amp 120v circuits.

You would just need to figure out how to deal with 2,400 watts of heat.

Can the 12 ton HVAC handle two more 500Gh/s units?

I'm guessing since a ton of A/C can effectively get rid of 12,000 BTU and a watt is roughly 3.41 BTU, 2400 watts * 3.41 BTU = 8184 BTUs, and he can get rid of 144,000 BTU a day, his system should be able to handle them.

Fellow Bitcoiners,

It has been a long road to get to this point but I am pleased to announce that the first 500Gh/s BFL units have been delivered and are happily hashing away as I type this. This is a huge milestone for BFL and shows their continued efforts to fulfill their promises to customers.

The picture above shows multiple FPGA minirigs along with 1 ASIC minirig.

The rig will be up and down for the evening while conman works to get cgminer fine tuned with the new firmware.

Best,
James

Awesome! Congrats....

I rarely post on any forums, mostly lurk, but as a BFL customer patiently awaiting his small-fry order (compared to this) I just had to log in and post that this is by far the coolest thing I've seen on these forums probably ever. Bravo BFL, and happy hashing to Gigavps.

I whole heartily agree Grin

Uhmmm... You do have something in place for if you die... right? Your death would certainly cause (BIG) problems for giga/terraminers if you didn't leave instructions.

Calm down.... breathe......

VPS has employees and has working procedures active being produced to manage every aspect of VPS / Gigamining / Teramining.

Rest assured that things will, for the most part, continue without me.

And still no scammer tag !!!

Shame on you, you still haven t paid so many people back their money that they invested in your mining fund !!!

And the power use is ?

I haven't measured it yet and I am not where the machine is to be able to do so at this time. I will hopefully be there later this evening and will see if I can get a reading then.

After setting up the rigs last night, it was time for sushi and drinks to celebrate the arrival of this equipment.

I figured it is not best to be messing with equipment or 208v 3P power while intoxicated.....
