It's just an old, generic, grey PSU from a Dell or something..... I see your point. How would I go about finding out whether the PSU can handle this kind of power requirements? Also, I've got another power supply I can get my hands on tomorrow, and that's 500W and only a week old so should do okay I guess

Dell and HP powersupplys can be funny because there designed for use in there equipment. it should say on the side on a sticker with a table of 12v, 5v 2v
a 300w PSU should be able to put something like 120w out on 12v rail....

personal id have a cheap PSU over a dell or HP PSU there good but i just dont like the way there set out and im not willing to take the risk they changed the color on the cables XD

you sure the PSU is capable of handling the wattage?? if its an old PSU it might have low wattage or might even be on its way out...
might be worth trying a different PSU

Yeah, I've followed the guide on here to the letter, so the cabling is all correct. I have used my multimeter to confirm that the PSU is chucking out ~11.67V to the blade. I don't know how to confirm that it's working any more than that. The green light suggests signs of life. I've managed to solve that problem - a wire has fallen out of the green power connector, so I guess the flashing green light indicates insufficient power. (I did my multimeter thing after fixing the cabling). Anyhow, I'm back to square one now with the blade just sitting there. I've got the ethernet in but neither the orange or green light is flashing on the port Sad

Are you sure the blade is plugged in properly? Is the blade confirmed to be working properly?

I'm running a 300W PSU with two yellow molex wires and four black molex wire going to the blade, as per by following dogie's guide on here. I've got an ethernet cable plugged directly in to the router and the blade. I managed to reach the config page of the blade and change the IP address and pool info to my stratum proxy, but once I refreshed nothing was happening. The blade didn't read that it was hashing and the proxy didn't pick anything up. I rebooted the blade once more only for things to get worse - the blade just sits there, no lights, nothing. I can't reach the config page on neither the custom IP I put in the config nor the default 192.168.1.254:8000. (I didn't change the port from 8000, so it's got to be the same). I had it so close to hashing and now its just stopped doing anything at all. Help?

I had another go at it a moment ago and when I switched the PSU on the blade gave a quick flash of two green lights from the l.e.d behind the ethenet port and then powered everything off, even the PSU. I don't know what is happening...
