I got my own new version of Blade up and running today. Is it true that it cannot be OCd? It gives me 10,9 Ghash/s, I guess it's okay. One thing troubles me though, it's the difficulty: I mine in Slush's pool and use the newest version of stratum proxy and so on. Stratum shows that the difficulty is 6, although I have the impression that it should be 8 with this amount of hashing power. Why is it like this? My asic worker gets about 3500-4500 shares, is this okay?

Also, a bit of a tip for fresh asic Blade Runners (heh):
The initial post doesn't tell that your home network should be in the same subnet than your Blade. Blade's subnet is originally 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0. My home network is 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0, so I had a little bit of trouble at connecting the Blade's config page. The only thing I could do was to change my home network to the Blade's original one (and my PCs ip address too, at least to automatic and release and renew the address), change the Blade's subnet and other settings to 192.168.0.x and revert my home networks setting to the one that all my other network devices use (easier this way than to convert all the other devices to use 192.168.1.x subnet).

Also, I live in two places right now. Right now it' easy enough to connect to a Blade, as I have a router and a switch, so I have a home network set up. In my other apartment I only have RJ-45 sockets built in the apartment's wall (cable network). So, I don't basically have a home network there. Is it possible to create one, if I put a router between the RJ-45 socket and the devices (NAT)? If it is, is it how hard? I have some IT education, so it can't be that hard. I reckon there's no other way to get it work. I've come to this conclusion, as even my smart TV doesn't connect to the internet if I just plug in the RJ-45 directly.

Edit: fixed Thash to Ghash

Just want to post at thank-you to Dogie and others who have been responding to this thread helping people out. I got my blades running off of the information in here alone. Got everything wired up properly off the first post and when things didn't run just had to dig into the rest of the thread to find the stuff about gateway ips.

Keep up the good work.

Run it at "Low" speed.  If that works, and you get failures at "High" speed, then you need to crank up the voltage. 

It's running at "Low" speed with all "x", voltage on branches is good (as i wrote). Isn't problem in voltage at PSU/Blade connector? (When blade is connected I have 11.11V, shouldn't be 11.5 and more?)
Yes. Sounds like PSU cant cope

I tryed another PSU - 350W, 16A on 12V. (connect 2x2 +12V yellow cables (2xMolex, 2xcpu) and 2x2 GND black cables) Voltage at PSU/Blade connector is 12.1V, voltage on branches is 1.1V, so its seems like normal. But still i have all "x" on chips. What could be wrong? Please help me...
PM me a picture of your wiring and I'll have a look.

Hey guys,

So I got my 2 blades and 10 BE running all ok (total of between 22.50-26.80 gh/s 0.80%hw 3.2% rejected),

But I totally messed up on the config pages as now i cannot access them from my browser (I didn't write down how I allocated them! D'oh!)  Is there any way of resetting them or accessing without using the pins? 


By the way, when I look at my router, it only lists one blade and not two, and when I use that ip and port, nothing comes up.

It all works, but I'd like to have access to them.

Thanks
Maybe you overlapped the IPs so its conflicted. Only way out is to use the pins, only takes a few seconds.

Do I just use tweezers or something while the blades are on?

I used a paperclip while the blade was powered on.

Cool. Will try that.

Thanks

By the way, does 3% rejected sound ok to you? with just the usbs, I used to get .80% ish.

Thanks Dogie

I have two Blades, one is perfectly stable at 1.15v, the other isn't so much and will need a bit more.  The second one intermittently reboots, and some of the chips X out.

I'm running mine off a Corsair CX750 - I was using an older Zalman 1000W unit before which didn't seem to like running with no 5v/3.3v load.  The new Corsair runs perfectly.

Hello,
I've just received new AsicBlade (10-13GH/s). I set up it according to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-dogies-comprehensive-asicminer-blade-setup-205369 guide on this forum. I was working fine for about 8 hours. After that I see in web configuration all X on the chips. I was using 220W PSU with 14A on 12V line. After that i tryed another PSU (350W, 14A on 12V) -- without change.

I was measuring voltage on H2R2 and i had 1.065V, I tryed change it to 1.15, without change. Blade is running (it produce heat, web interface is running, but it is not hashing, all "x" on chips). If blade is connected, between yellow(+) and Black(-) Cable is around 11.12V, without blade 11.89. Is it too low? Should I try with "better" PSU which gives really 12V? Is this wrong?

Thank you for your answers.

Right can anyone please try suggest a pool that works with these blades ?

I have tried using the Proxy but just keeps getting stuck on the clean_job=False with Slush Pool,

Tried using BFGMiner and connect the blades to that but that software bugs out and crashes.  Cry

Can anyone recommend a pool that I can just simply put the details into and let them run ?

Cheers



Just mine straight from the proxy.  You don't need any other mining software.

1) Simply "create shortcut" of mining_proxy.exe and send to your desktop

2) right-click>properties and in the target box enter something like this...  "C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\Desktop\Stratum Proxy\mining_proxy.exe" -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333

3) In the ASICminer configuration page enter the IP of the computer that is running the proxy like this...
192.168.1.xxx,192.168.1.xxx

4) And enter your pool login credentials in the ASICMiner configuration like this... username_workername:password,username_workername:password

5) And of course create a new worker for each Blade and give each one it's own IP.  And don't forget to create a new worker for each Blade in your pool.

6) Click to run the Mining Proxy shortcut that you created in step 1.


If you plan on changing to other pools, just create a new shortcut for each, enter appropriate information in the target box and then rename each shortcut to keep everything organized.

I find it handy to bookmark each configuration page so I can see the hash rate of each blade.  If you are running a mining proxy on two different computers, you can set the set two IPs in the 'server address' box instead of repeating the first one twice.  If one computer shuts down, the Blades will find the other Proxy server and keep hashing.  Last night one of my PCs restarted during the night but the Blades kept hashing without missing a beat.

When starting BFGminer, trying putting the -T argument in to your batch file after bfgminer. Not how or why tht works, but it does for me.

re: Server PSUs - go read on the RC (Radio Controller) forums about modding / adapting server PSUs as high-current 12V sources for LiPo battery pack charging.  I've got a HP DPS600 PB to run my blades (12V @ 47A) , it should be good for 4 to 6 of the v2 blades (see http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174225 for adapting that ).  You can get 12V, 108A PSUs for four-way servers for a song, just need to work out which pins to connect to power on, and maybe work out which pins control the fan speed.

Curious about something...

So, I've been running 4x V2 blades for a few days now, restarted the proxy-miner a few times just due to moving things around w/e...

The blades are cool to the touch (ie: not hot at all, ie: efficient cooling), I noticed I'm getting a lot of hardware errors (Accepted: 107,329, Rejected: 2,788, HWError: 26,678).


Granted it's not too crazy, but my 28x USB Erupter setup has Accepted 116,529, Rejected: 265, HWError: 1,980.

Wondering if this seems normal (for the blades) to anyone?

I was wondering if anyone would know a good source for the fuses for the 2nd generation Block Erupter Blade? Part numbers and web side would be a huge help.
