Thanks Dogie! First-time miner here and got up and running in minutes using your guide. Only delay was a thin plastic coating on my paperclip keeping it from working on the PSU. Fixed it with a metal clip from my RC cars
Very familiar with the plastic paper clip covering. I wasted approximately 6 hours [Along with a lot of hair pulled out] because of those damn things. LOL
By the way, I thought I would share my progress on my new mining closet built downstairs and offer details about the firmware updates and the advantages of getting your rig to the January 09, 2015 update to be able to under clock your S3 to make them more power efficient and to enjoy a much faster interface. I updated 13 S3+'s and 5 S3's with approximately 4 hard resets required during the whole process of updating them all.
I was up until 8:00am this morning [All nighter!] installing the new fan, setting up the rack, PDU's, PSU's with PCI-e cords and rigs. I still have more rigs to bring over into the new closet. I'm waiting on a couple more 240 VOLT/30 AMP outlets to arrive from Amazon tomorrow so I can add another PDU. Then I will be able to bring my router, switch and other rigs into the new closet. I have to leave the door with grilles open at the moment to allow the 15 feet ethernet cords to reach from the switch to the rigs in the new closet. I will be very happy to get those outlets in the mail so I can get that switch inside the closet to close the door with grilles.
Pictures of what I've done in the transition over to the new closet thus far [I will clean up the wiring with zip ties once all of the rigs are moved inside the new closet]:
Still working on it. Please don't mind the mess. I went ahead and pulled a spare 10/2 just in case. That's the orange wire you see hanging down at the moment. It will all be cleaned up after taxes.
Don't be fooled... The fan is not held up by zip ties [lol]. The next picture shows the clips holding it in place. The entire fan is resting inside the circle I cut in the wood with a jig saw. The clips are holding the fan in place while it rests on the wood. I found there was no need to screw a bolt through the black hanger into the joist above. The fan rests perfectly on the wood while it is pushed through to the outside approximately 6 inches to where the handle rests against the wood. So I decided to attach the handle to the wood to hold the fan in place.
The reason I have more wood to the left of the fan is to allow space to mount my power outlets, etc. I will mount the outlets in place later. I was tired last night!
You see the clip I have on the handle in this picture to hold the fan in place. I have to put some 3 inch wide aluminum duct tape around this fan to seal in the quarter inch gap around it. This will keep out bugs that may want to come in.
The next two pictures show you how I hanged the IBM 2880W PSU's with tie wraps to keep them off of the SP20's.
