Is noisy ??
Great news! Got all 3 S2's today. First one's setup and running, after reseating the main board and reconnecting the ribbon cable to the display. One board was crooked but not too bad.
Others have reported major grief after changing to a subnet other than 192.168.1.x, so before turning it on, i connected a 2nd router to the primary router just to create a 192.168.1.x subnet.
So all i've done is configure my pool, and it's working....
two questions:
-what's the best way to shut it down? there is no "shut down" option in the web gui. there's a reboot, but no shutdown. just pull the plug? was it just exceptionally bad luck for the other guy who shut down and couldn't boot again?
-is DHCP to a subnet other than 192.168.1.x working? i'd hate to loose contact with it over something so trivial as a changed IP.

For me I dont have your constraints so I would rather have 40% more hashing power for the same dollar and deal with the power under clock later
Well if you underclock the left too you can get your density as the right for NO additional cost ..... just saying.
I would rather have numbers work because convenience aint going to pay you back in the end. To each his own.....but I like your style if you can afford it
No he wouldn't. He might get the same W/GH but that would make the already worse GH/U even worse.I would rather have numbers work because convenience aint going to pay you back in the end. To each his own.....but I like your style if you can afford it
Footprint is irrelevant, only power usage. I pay $50/mo per rack + Power. So if I underclock the S1's and managed to get the same W/GH then they'd only cost me < $100/mo more than the S2's
OKay I update the firmware.
Given it more time here with Slush the rej rate is dropping as the numbers are not increasing as fast as the start up.
Not sure why its so much better at Slush .....will try Eligius and report back...... still 15% but its declining as the accepts go up.

Has anyone tried the new firmware, yet? Any idea what it's supposed to fix?

Just upgraded to the new firmware. Don't see any differences, still a very high discard rate...
Post the numbers.
Discarded in cgminer is pretty much a meaningless number.
The 2 numbers that matter are the hash rate, and the pool reject rate.

Well you cant use the same frames ...you would have to mod the blade rack ...
Your right though the heatsinks will not allow you to get identical footprint.
Geeze.....I was just making a point....lmao

Why did I choose S2 over more S1? Well, this is the main reason:
4.5TH 4.5TH 6TH
4.5TH 4.5TH 6TH
Sweet setup bro!!!!!

If anyone is wondering, I'm seeing 10A @ 208V for two S2 units on my PDU.
What PDU are you using?
AP7841
The update appears to fix the issue with changing the ping IP every reboot. I had to manually power cycle after the update, just rebooting didn't work.
My other issue with it mining and then beeping, requiring me to stop and start cgminer, is still present. It actually mined through the night and today up until I updated it. Immediately after the reboot, it started back.
I am also seeing a very high discard rate, even with the new firmware. As for noise, I've been considering installing some Silenx fans to see if they make a difference!

Sorry guys, confirmed I was one unit off getting in B1. I'll have my unit in about 8 days then will be able to help. Looking at the current media though, I should be able to get these units silent 
Dogie to the rescue...

Is so noisy the s2?
Well I am trying an email to Bitmain after all.
As the reject and discards.....I cant figure out what else I can try.
I figure they have cost me 4 BTC as a running total.....and their coupons are .02 what a joke.
Will let you guys know what I get back from them on what is the resolution....
Damn I wish I went with 7 S1s in stead.....well the poop is on me.....for taking a chance on a preorder.
By the way I reduced my discard to 1/3 from 1/2 by going to slush but its way too early to say that variance is not to explain that

As everything which is new- first are always guinea pigs for factory.
All the problems will be solved in batch 2 and 3
I did choose s1 instead s2 as they are still overpriced.
Thats why i got more than 1Th for less btc than s2
Sorry
You were smarter than I ....you could have had 1.4 TH now for same price and underclock them later for 1 TH so that makes the S2 40% overpriced.....I expected something like OC ability for the price from Bitmain and they have / had a good rep for a chinese firm..... why else would they hold out for top dollar? They were firm according to Jaun.
Well with perfectly prices comes perfect expectations.....guess Bitmain about to find out what it is to be an Avalon Clone producer....as many will not be as patient as some of us who have had growing pains already..... no doubt they are going to have to figure out a solution and it isnt going to be a coupon.......at this point that is NOT going to make it right with me.
Before I head to the gym, here's the quick video of the initial boot with sound so you can hear the fans. http://youtu.be/sQYtbtsyKdU
I hope you dont sleep with that thing on
