A few other things you may want to note in the guide:
1) If you have more than one miner daisy-chained, in the Cgminer tab (the first), under the pool settings is a setting for "Board nums". This value should be set to 2 * the number of miners (since each miner has 2 boards). I fought with wiring for like half an hour before I found out about this setting...
2) My boards look slightly different. They don't have a PCIE port on the blades themselves. Instead there are 2 ports which have an adapter that can either take a single PCIE 6pin plug (it splits into 2 cables to plug into two sides). So the 2 6-pin PCIE plugs become 4 power "plugs" - two for each board. In this case I noticed that I had a single PCIE plug split between both boards instead of 1 plug covering the top boards' two power ports with another covering the bottom two. Between this and re-wiring everything (checking all the plugs etc.) I'm down to a reasonable number of errors (200 or so an hour, vs. 10000+).
I can take pictures of my version of the boards I have if it'd help!

I got the first of my 2 AM V1s setup today.
I'm getting a TON of errors however:
And for those having issues with it not connecting to a pool at all:
You may need to set an ACTUAL DNS IP, not just your routers IP (depending on what you use for a router). In my case (I'm on comcast business cable) it's 75.75.75.75

Everyone is getting the same % on difficulty errors. I don't know how your router wouldn't also be a DNS server, that doesn't make sense. Its a router.
In my case I have a funky network setup (my miners go through a separate gateway so I can connect to them all through a server set between them and the rest of my network.

I got same issues with technobit, I just switched to dynamic IP instead static, I wait for my btcg.miner, doesn't the Chinese adapter need just EU convertor ?
You can't swap to dynamic on these, the software is very cut down. See the links in section 1)b) for what you'll need depending on your country. They ship with US plugs as standard.

Ok. Populate all 3 sets of server info, I'm not sure what happens if you don't fill all 3.
I tried this with one being BitMinter, the other using Eligus and the other using D7.LT and all of them didn't work, yet did work on my block erupter cube. I tried to contact customer support of BTC Garden about a day ago, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Hi, I followed your guide and set up my miner, but now when I save a pool, it does not show up on the cgminer page and when I log in to the pool it does not show up as being connected. I have tried a number of different pools but no like. If anyone could help I would be very grateful!
I have included as many pictures as possible.

Is your router definitely at 192.168.0.1?
I believe so. I tried setting my DNS to 192.168.4.100 too

What wattage power supply should i use for four of these? And would multiple supplies work if all four are connected to one rpi?
Corsair 1200 axi, and yes its fine. http://goo.gl/RA5lzM
I'm not sure about 4 with that PSU, that's around 1280 watts at the wall. I've got 3 running off of multiple power supplies and one pi, no problems.
That will be no problem on the axi, which will do 1300 output and ~1450 at the wall.

Any information on how to chain multiple to a single RPi?
I have 2 that should be arriving today/tomorrow and I'd love to get them up and running ASAP!

Repeat this down:
Plug the other end of the cable onto the top, right hand 8 pin header when viewed from above with the fans facing away. The red lines should face right.
Plug the included 8 to 8 pin wire from the top, left hand header to the bottom, right hand header. Make sure the red lines faces to the right.
So Rpi into top level right
cable one - top level left to 2nd level right
cable two - 2nd level left to 3rd level right
cable three - 3rd level left to 4th level right
As per the intructions
Excellent, thank you!
