How are you fellows cooling your Blade v2's on the backplane?
I'm very curious.

I just received the V2 blade today. I plugged Ethernet and 12V power just as I did for the V1 blade but I get no LED response from Blade -- just a tiny bit of heat to indicate it could be alive. Power reads fine at 12V with a multimeter. I assume the Ethernet lights should be flashing when the board is powered up (like the V1 board does). I get 'page cannot be displayed' if I goto 192.168.1.254:8000 with a browser. The installed fuse still tests fine with a multimeter too. Any ideas?

Notice the holes in the corners for the standoff posts. The two sticking out on bottom were snapped off on mine even though it was sealed in an antistatic bag (anyone else have these holes snapped off?). The broken off pieces were in the sealed bag so it presumably happened in shipment.

I bought 10 of these and almost every one of them had at least one already broken. Some had both broken. Doesn't affect mining. I don't know if it is wise to leave them free-standing on their own installed on a backplane.
PS: Thanks for a great in-person buying experience and light tutorial, Canary!
If they are not needed for the backplane perhaps those were for board positioning at some point in the production process and should have been removed before shipping.
Yes, thanks Canary. A pleasure doing business with you.

So, when batch #25 commences will it be linked on this thread at the same time it's posted on group buys?

Yes I had one snap off in the box before it got to me. They are very flimsy. I used wooden rods through those holes to mount several blades together and I snapped another one off myself.
I use the heat sink mounting holes for mounting. Much sturdier than the circuit board holes.

I just received the V2 blade today. I plugged Ethernet and 12V power (just like V1 blade which worked fine but have disconnected while I am trying to config the new V2 blade)... No response from Blade (no lights -- but maybe just a tiny bit of heat as if it could be alive). Power reads fine at 12V with a multimeter. The V1 blade will at least flash ethernet lights when power is applied. Does anyone know if Ethernet light flashes on boot with V2 blades?

One is snapped off but I may have done that as I hadn't noticed them before. The one off has no effect as my miner is working fine. Voltage measured at the plus and minus on the board directly is correct? With voltage applied does the status light on your router show any change at the port the Blade gets plugged into?NOTE: ASICminer V2 blade instructional diagram here:

So, what do you plan on doing once the 13 hours is up?
i.e., so you close this batch, then what? open a new one at a lower price more in line with the post that friedcat just released or you're closing up shop?
typically a re-seller would open a new group after a particular one closes: (hence the 23/24 designation on this one: there were 22 before that closed) I will take some time off and open a new one when more inventory arrives. i.e., so you close this batch, then what? open a new one at a lower price more in line with the post that friedcat just released or you're closing up shop?
