need some suggestions, here is what i have

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r262/ertgunner/Untitled_zpsdefc4b2e.png

the top one is 4 asicminers usb without a proxy and the bottom is a blade with the slush proxy. that can't be normal.  anyone have some pointers?

Maybe someone has some insight here, I posted this since I couldn't find anyone with a similar issue: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3754988

Cliff Notes:
I just bought a 10 blade setup Rev 2.01 with backplane and HP PSU from a seller on eBay, the actual blades were from JonesGear.

All 10 blades reboot every hour (58:30 to be exact) on the hour without fail.  They aren't just switching pools (which are the same entered two times), the uptimes are going back to 0. 

The blades are connected to BFGminer running the proxy, and they hash nicely while connected, but ever hour they all restart simultaneously, which obviously pisses off the proxy and the pool, so I have a small recovery period with rejects, and stales while the blades come back up to speed.

Please help... this is making me nuts.  As I noted in my thread, I have 2 PSUs on the way hedging my bets that this is an issue with the PSU. 

Thanks in advance. 

.. getwork is BS .. why you do not use stratum 

Here are some stats from my blade at eligius pool.  The nice thing about getwork is I can shut off my computer and my blade is still hashing away.

I have noticed that my Blade is inconsistent so I have found a huge 12 fan the size of the heat sink and I am switching to a newer "over rated" power supply because I think my old one is sagging rated at a mere 12v 10 amps and probably insufficient.

The funny thing is even though my efficiency is low Eligius is reporting reasonable hash rates.  Maybe the new fans and power supply will change some of the dips in my hash rate.  It cooled off tonight and this blade has not reset for hours.  So fans can't be emphasized enough.

yes, i noticed that there are some chips that aren't working appears to be a hardware problem, poked around with a DMM and saw some real low resistances kinda hard to figure out what is actually shorted out when there isn't a schematic. i have checked the mosfets and caps on that power lane but no luck.

.. your screenshot show's 4 "X" that meams on the blade are non-working Chips.
Try switching to overclocked and back again, reset the blade .. maybe it help's.

maybe you guys can point me in the right dirrection, i finally got the board hashing on a proxy by

using mining proxy.exe  with the "-o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333" argument according to the gui i am hashing about 8000MHS but bitminter is showing under 1gps so about 700 difference

do i have the port set right in the GUI? it is the only one i can get to work, i have tried 3333 and 5050 but it just stalls my proxy

Its funny because I noticed the same exact thing. I sold all my BFL equipment because I thought the blades would be better and now I am only seeing about 70% of the return I had at a higher GH/ps. One thing you can say about the little Jalapenos.... they where efficient!!

Isn't it a matter of installing the proxy and then starting it with a redirection to the pool you want to you?

I'm on mac so I type into terminal ./mining_proxy.py -o mint.bitminter.com -p 3333
On PC it runs off a bat file? Don't you just need to edit that file to direct it to the pool you want?

I will post here sense this thread is getting replies constantly let me say everything that has happened so I can get some help. Last night after I got my blade working after changing my IPv4 to 192.168.1.10 I was able to connect to the blade using 192.168.1.254:8000  I changed my blade to 192.168.1.24 Because I didn't notice the step to change it to a 192.168.0.x ip address well I set my Ip settings back to obtain an ip address manually. Then I wasn't able to reconnect to the blade I even changed my routers IP address to a 192.168.1.xx ip address still cannot connect to the blade this is very frustrating I have tried everything even resetting the blade and I cannot connect to it again no matter what I do.

SUCCESS!

using my LAN IP address as the gateway in configuration I am now mining the getwork protocol at eligius pool.  xyzzy099 I will try your advice but now I am off to get some fans, molex, cat5 etc to finalize my hardware set up.  thanks.

Well I have had it proxies.  It looks easier for me to use getwork and directly connect my blade with no pc.  Most likely I am committing an error, however my blade could be defective. 
IP                               192.168.1.254   
Mask                               255.255.255.0
Gateway                       My router's gateway?, my LAN IP address?, or my computer's IP?
WEB Port                       8000  I have a port forward at 8000 other values do not seem to work.  If i change this do I need a new port forward?
Primary DNS               my router's primary DNS  or should I use another value here?
Secondary DNS               my router's secondary DNS
Ports                               8332,8337      The ports of BTCoxygen,Eligius getwork servers.
Server addresses               BTCOxygen.com,getwork.mining.eligius.st       
user:pass                       xxxxxxxxx:xxx,yyyyyyy:yyy

These are the values I will be trying out today.  Any advice is welcome.  I have been at this for three days and bfgminer just can't see my blade.  I don't really like MinGW now that I've tried it out.  I had to link bfgminer.exe into MinGW/msys as a hack so my money is on user error here.  Stratum Proxy passed a lot of errors but I may give it one more go.  If these trials do not get me hashing I am returning my blade to the seller as defective. 

.. sold yours too early 

Sounds like the same issue I am having, totally related to cooling. These things are super finicky, you gotta blast them with air.

Which brings me to my next question. So fucking frustrated right now. 2-pin fan connectors on these blades!!! Do I seriously need to buy an adapter for this!? Right now I'm just pissed because it's impossible to have a hobby outside of work. All the fucking stores close at 9pm, such bullshit. Please, someone, help to end my complete frustration and tell me what is needed to run a fan right off these blades. I left MicroCenter empty handed, planning to hit Best Buy or something during my lunch break tomorrow. Really want to have these all setup before thanksgiving, tired of the bullshit. Thanks.

Ok with some help from pontiacg5 i got the blade up and running!

However the efficiency rate is less than 10% and the blade keeps resetting around 2min. everytime.

Any thoughts on how to get this thing cranking at 100% ?

I've been at this for about 48 hours! I feel like im so close to getting this thing running.

Not sure what im doing wrong. I feel like i've tried so many variables yet still no success.

I downloaded and ran the stratum proxy.
I figured out how to change my IP so i can configure the blade.
I downloaded and ran bfgminer and pointed it to slush's pool with my login info.
I've spent HOURS digging through the support threads here on the forum and still cant get this thing running.
I'm hoping someone with some experience give me some guidance.

any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

if u want to keep track of what your blades are doing use bfgminer instead. 32bit ONLY 64bit one does not have support for proxy.
bfg miner will show u a UI of what is going on where slush's just scrolls endlessly. slushs can be configured to work on any pool.

bfgminer.exe --disable-gpu -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u workername -p workerpassword -G --http-port 8333
