As far as power, I can get the same effect applying 24 volts correct?
I have 24 volt - 15 amp lab power supply that I'd like to use.
At 24 Volts it should take 5 amps per to get the 120 watts.
Or am I way off base?
Screw terminals are "4 pin, 5.08mm pitch, closed at both sides"
Ok, noobish question here. I have the latest (old blade) revision and for some reason when I connect it, All i hear are a few 'clicks' and then nothing.
Silly question: Did you perhaps forget to plug in the red fuse ?
The newest (old) blades have no red fuse? or did mine just really freaking ship without one..
My new "old" blade that I received this week came with a red fuse but it was not packed in the boxes with the boards, it was outside the boxes wrapped in plastic bubble-wrap along with the green power adapter. I almost lost them among the rest of the packing in the shipment. Perhaps look closer at the box/packaging. Otherwise, the 10A fuse is cheap and not difficult to locate at a hardware store or Auto Parts store. A Quick google search finds this picture of the fuse:

Agreed, I nearly lost mine as well.
I have the entire package for my 4x blades on my office floor as arrived. No fuses and no power connectors to be found. Which is pretty bad since I sold 3 of them to friends already. Ugh, I guess I'll try to figure something out.
I believe these are the fuses for the blades.. Oddly they are called "Blade Fuses" !

If you don't have the screw-down Power Adapter you will need to get more creative.
Problem is being solved. Thx for all the help. Slightly embarrassing it took me to ask the forum before realizing parts were missing.

Definitely check w/ whoever sold them to you. They should have been included!
Perhaps your seller will overnight the parts to you and/or offer some BTC back for your troubles.

Silly question: Did you perhaps forget to plug in the red fuse ?I can't speak to you missing anything from a shipment, but I seem to recall hearing a similar clicking sound when I was setting up my first blade a while back, and didn't have the fuse plugged in.

The newest (old) blades have no red fuse? or did mine just really freaking ship without one.. Actually, I didn't get a Green connector either.. Did my blade arrive incomplete?

Ok, noobish question here. I have the latest (old blade) revision and for some reason when I connect it, All i hear are a few 'clicks' and then nothing. No Ethernet light, nada. I am pretty 100% that I followed instructions and that my rails provide enough power for at least things to 'work'.
Any ideas?

Does your power supply stay on or does it short out? Mine will power on for less than a second before shorting out the power supply.
Power supply stays on, just no reaction from blade at all. I have a 750W Thermaltake with several hundred watts 'free' (just running AMD + GPU @ idle). I am only using one rail though and only Yellow + Black cables (as per newer blade instructions).
I find it sort of LAZY of ASICMINER to not provide updated sheme/instructions with their latest blade design. Fuse and power connector is different and all I have to go on is the old instructions.. (as sparse as they are)
And you read 12V across the power connector?

Hi
After reciving waranity replacment, i`m trying to work with new unit.
Works well at low with ~10500Mhash, but when i`ll switch to High, it stops working at all, or close to it.
After few minutes, reboots. At low works well for 16h in a row.
Any adwise? should i check voltage or smth ??
Start from checking for potential voltage drop on the green bracket when you switch to High. After reciving waranity replacment, i`m trying to work with new unit.

Where are you pulling your power from? Don't use a SATA port if thats where you are grabbing it.
My first attempt was two separate molex lines. My second attempt was off the pci express (3x 12v lines there). I then also tried two molex plus the 3 12v pci express lines which should provide more than enough amperage. Like I said before, the psu powers up fine when the blade isn't connected, which is how I can confirm 12V across the green power plug. I don't have anything else drawing power and it's a 450+ W PSU. I've swapped out the PSU and had the same trouble with my "used" PSU.

My first erupter blade arrived and I think it may be decfective. I have a brand new power supply and have wired up the included plug and verified the voltages with my
multimeter (multiple 12v yellow and black ground wires from my psu). When I plug in the unit and switch on the PSU, the green LED illuminates, I here a click, then about 0.5-1.0 seconds later the PSU powers down. I think there might be a short somewhere in the blade. It's 100% reproducible every time I attempt to turn the unit on. if the unit is not plugged in, with the green plug wired up, I do not have any issues and read 12v across the screws so I'm pretty sure it's not my wiring.

Its the PSU. Since it is not connected to the mobo, it shuts down.
Use this method and try.
http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/testing-your-corsair-power-supply/
And if you have not so yet, read the OP again. Its mentioned in the OP
So how do we plug the blade into a PSU? First we need to tell the PSU to always be on, as there isn't a motherboard to do this. We use the old paperclip trick. http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/testing-your-corsair-power-supply Similar to that but instead of using it as a test, we'll cut the paperclip short and tape it up for safety.
I already had that set up (that's how I could test the PSU and know the correct voltage is going to the plug). I can power fans without any problems. The issue is when I hook the blade up, it seems to short out the psu (I have to turn it off, unjumper the green power on wire to reset it). Any other ideas?
