So a quick little review of the A1041.
Physical Dimensions:
Height: 11.5in
Width: 7.5in with PSU
PSU width: 2.25in
Depth: 7.5in
Without Fan: ~6in (depth without fan)
The login and dashboard pages are slightly different than the previous generations. And by slightly I mean very. But it is very intuitive.
Hashrate:
125
Displayed Average: 31.4 TH (60min)
Pool Average: 35TH (10min) | 27TH (60min)
97
Displayed Average: 31.8 TH (60min)
Pool Average: 33TH (10min) | 32TH (60min)
Power Draw:
240 3 phase**
2000-2200W @ 125F
1900-2000W @ 97F
**The operating environment is above 40C which will account for the increase in power from advertised specs. The miner will be moved around to be tested at different temperatures including manufacturer recommended 25-35C.
Some small issues:
When changing the pool there only seems to be an apply option and nothing to reset/restart cgminer. After entering in the new pool you need to reboot the miner.

Popin back in.
Got a few more in today with the bigger PSU. The bigger PSU does not mount onto the A10, it might just be a development / prototype.
Had a small issue with the first one that was setup it seems to be reporting two bad hashboards, but the second one out of the box seems to work fine.
It is daisy chained to the first one in the OP running two different firmware's and they seem to be getting along fine. From the looks of it the controllers just pass through, I'll need to check on the next one that gets setup but it looked like it won't work with DHCP and I had to set them to static because the default dns wasn't replying.
So far I'm liking them, my only real complaint is having to login so much as it keeps kicking me out of the ui.
Now I'll reiterate that these numbers are in extreme temps but in the short term it looks like in turbo mode:
Poolside - 38-40TH/s
UI - 35 TH/s
Power Consumption ~ 2.7-2.9kw
Power consumption in turbo is also a calculated estimate as the original A10 is running on the same meter, I'll split it off at some point and get a reading on just the turbo mode.
Notes:
Software - This version of the software is not final and is still being developed, anything software related may change at any time.
