Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup (Read 580724 times)
can anyone tell me where to find the screen shoots of the setup page. Wondering what the FREQ: Mod_1 Mod_2 Mod_3 Mod_4 Mod_5 diff: means, and what they should be set to. Thank you kindly.
Oh and I've tried a hard reset. No change.
Difficulty 128 is too high for a 10GH miner, to then try and get meaningful statistics out of it. The packets might have high discards due to the time they take to actually process [as far as I understand it]. If that's not the problem, then its still something to do with your proxy as the blade itself appears to be doing what its meant to.Thanks again Dogie.
No problem.

Anyone know why I seem to be getting only 50% efficiency (5 ghps) showing on the blade (v2) but bfgminer is showing 10 ghps. Not sure which is true. 
Can you upload a screenshot of bfgminer, the blade's interface page and the pool please.

Ah, ok. Roger.
Ah, ok. Yeah I wasn't planning to have both the blades and backplane wired at the same time - figured it was a one or the other kind of deal.
So...am I the only idiot doing it this way? Does everyone else just use the HP PSU? Would it be easier to do something about the noise?

No I meant don't have one blade wired in to test, with other blades that aren't wired in but are also on the backpane.

I've still got a bunch of molex to 4pin cables left over, PM me if you need a few. Also, note that if you are using the 4 pin connectors on a blade and utilizing the back plane as a stand, make sure you have all 4 pin connectors attached before starting your PSU. If you only have one unit connected, power will be distributed from that unit to the rest of the board since they are all on the same circuit.
Cool, I already got a bunch of eBay. I'm not sure what you mean by "Also, note that if you are using the 4 pin connectors on a blade and utilizing the back plane as a stand, make sure you have all 4 pin connectors attached before starting your PSU.

He means don't wire only one of them up while also plugged into the backpane with other blades plugged in as it will try and power the others through that molex.

Theyre 4 pin, 5.08mm pitch screw terminals, you'll find them in big bags on ebay for almost nothing.
I'll get started on that.....hopefully last time I pester you about something, would you know where I could find the molex connectors for the blades? I got my blades off ebay and they didn't include them. Been searching and haven't come up with anything helpful
You could potentially get away with using two separate PCI-E cables branches, but that's really pushing the connectors to the limit which is the problem. Ideally you'd wire up each blade individually, the backpane was never designed for normal PSUs and so you have 2 screw terminals trying to do the job of 10.
Understood. I'll go with wiring them individually, rather than risk, you know, burning down my house. Guess I'll need to find molex connectors for the blades
PCI-E or ATX is preferred for the blades as 100W is considered over for a molex. You've got 4 PCI-E, two 4 pin ATX (in the 8 pin) and then can use a 2xmolex to PCI-E for the final blade.
