Cablez can make ANYTHING you want  Grin  He is fantastic at making cables & he takes BTC & ships fast  Cool

Be sure you give him the correct instructions  Wink

Be sure of the barrel size,they can be different inner & outer deminisions & length  Roll Eyes

Good luck!!

"Barrel Connector to PCI-E"

Is there anywhere I can purchase this? Or pay someone to make this? Id be willing to pay BTC for someone to make 75 of them in total.

You can use either one of the following for power:

1.) Barrel Connector to PCI-E; make sure the gauge of your cable will support approximately 40-50w of power running through it for prolonged periods of time. I recommend 18 awg or better. Note: the polarity for the barrel connector is: outer = negative, inner = positive.

2.) The screw 2-pin connectors to an adapted PCI-E power interface or some direct 12V powersupply. If buy some 2-pin screw connectors you can chain supply power up to 3 boards per PCI-E power cable. If you are using a server power supply with good gauge cable (example 14 awg), you may be ale to get away with more in the chain.  Note: The PCB should show which pair of the 4 pins are ground and which are VCC (power).

Also based on your picture, you need to flip the switch on unit for it to be "on". Forgot to add, each board will use up to 50 watts of power, so if you have 1TH of boards, I would plan to have a power supply capable of delivery atleast 1100w or more.

Someone that helps me out, I can offer to mine with a few TH of these bitfuries to you for like 2 hours for free.

I can offer like $50 USD in Bitcoins + a few hours of mining time for free. In return for advice that works.

Yes its a blackarrow

Not too much regarding set up or close up pics.

Do I order this?
2-pin Curved Screw terminal blocks:
http://www.dx.com/p/2-pin-curved-screw-terminal-block-connectors-green-20-piece-pack-146624#.U3kWnvldV8E

And http://www.blackarrowsoftware.com/store/atx-to-dc-power-adapter.html

Then hook the 2-Pin curved screws terminals blocks to the 4 pin in the picture, then get some cooper wires
and run to the atx to dc power adapter?

From there I run PCI-E cables into the atx to dc power adapter?

While using cooper wires?

Does this work? Or am I completely off?

I ordered a ton of these units so I thought it would be standard, or just regular 6 pin, but no its some weird
power source to these units. I need to figure this out soon, because I have a lot of em sitting around.

Hello, I ordered some bitfuries 16 chips. I want to know, what will I need to power this unit?
Can someone point me in the right direction, and things I will need to order?
To make this work with a standard PSU, what is needed?

There isn't any instructions, or close up pictures on how people set these up. Or any good tutorials for setting these up.
I know the software part, and everything fine, its just the hardware part. I connected these units together,
board to board, and to the raspberry pi and controller, that was the easy part. But now I ran into the issue
of how do I power these, or what do I need?

Every asics I ordered in the past used 6 pin, so was as easy as plug it in, set up the software, and done.
I have done volt modifications on antminers for lowering power, that was easy.

As this board doesn't take PCI 6 pin, I will need to do some modifications?

Thanks!
