Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive SpondooliesTech SP20 Setup [HD] (Read 24197 times)
Hi
I purchased a used SP20 and did not receive it with user name or password so I can't get into it. I would like to restore it to defaults but the Spondoolies support web page is gone now can anyone tell me how to do the factory default?
Thanks
Randy

110 volt circuits with a 15 amp breaker can only handle about 1400 watts continuous draw 
You could swap the breaker to a 20 amp one BUT,you can overheat your wires or outlets doing this.DO NOT DO THIS!!!!

Definitely do NOT do this, your home insurance would be invalidated immediately while putting your life at risk. If unsure then consult a qualified electrician about the possibility of adding a 220V circuit.
i was running the sp20 with the evga1300 psu for a couple days and it was running stable and hashing 1700 peaking at 1800 at times.. but after also adding an antminer s5 requiring 750w i couldnt keep them running together without tripping. after dropping the sp20 to the cx850 psu i am steadily getting ~1500 from it and able to run the s5 in conjunction and power seems to be running stable. with the s5 pulling in ~1100 this is so far a pretty nice combo. the 1300w psu i will save for when my s7 arrives. ive been curious... i've been seeing people who have pretty massive rigs which look like they are non-commericial residences... how are they able to not have circuits blow? mine seem unable to power above 1600w continuously on the same circuit...
They're most likely using 220 volt circuits.

I run SP20 with HP 1200W platinum PSU for similar price as CX750M, it has no ATX cable, takes 10% less elec. and sits comfortable on top.
thank you... actually i bought the two 750's and connected just one up and it seems to hit 1300-1400 pretty often as someone here mentioned in one of the early posts. the particular one I have keeps restarting cgminer (might just be a less than perfect device that i acquired) and it hasn't run a full uninterrupted 24 hours I have come back to where it is located and just seen it completely off. It hasn't tripped the circuit because the wifi bridge it is connected to still has power... I am thinking maybe it keeps hitting 80C and therefore shutting itself down. I am going to stick it in a more well ventilated area and swap out the 750 for an 850 in the hopes for more stable 1500TH/s ranges.
If you have the CX750M, running it in anything but room temperature ambient will cap its maximum power pretty strictly at 750W before it gets overwhelmed. When I'd put mine in the hot boxes they'd start throwing out at about 35C with max load.
ya i am using the cx750m as linked in the setup guide.. it does get a little hot in the room the device is in but its not that bad. i jst moved the PSU to below the sp20 rather than above, maybe this will prevent it from overheating, hot air rising and all??

Will the EVGA 1300w work for this or is it too close to being maxed out all the time
Will the EVGA 1300w work for this or is it too close to being maxed out all the time
It will work fine. do you realize the sp20 works far better at 1200gh to 1400gh hash rates?
If you run at 1350gh it costs 750 to 800 watts
If you run at 1650gh it costs 1200 to 1225 watts
Even if you are a free power guy. try running them at 1400 to 1500gh as the 1650 to 1700gh speeds are redline speeds.
I run 8 of them in my home all around 1200gh. They use under 600 watts at this speed.
sorry im a n00b here... is this why OP said to use two 750w PSUs? in the quickstart video from the manufacturer available on youtube they mention you can use two PSU instead of one but that it will run at half the hashing rate if it is being supplied half the power demanded (1200w). i am still considering getting the evga 1300w psu and connecting this for a full 1300w but the difference between 1350 and 1650 seems quite nominal for the decrease in power bill...
I would just go with Evga 1300 personally, and that is what I did. It's a quality psu and can be sold or used later projects. I ROI'ed on mine... and they came in handy for ether project.
But yes some do run two 750 server psu's due to price. Just make sure to do 1 psu per hashing board, don't mix the PSU's power on a single hashing bard. But honestly 1 PSU is just easier.

which of those 4 slots power the back chips ?
2 slots power the 2 front boards and the other 2 slots power the back boards
2 slots power the 2 front boards and the other 2 slots power the back boards
I think the back is the one near the fan, since the fan pushing air out, so it make sense the chips near the fan
get the hotter air from the front chips (which is nearer to the power connector? Make sense?
and #2 and #4 are the one connecting to the back
which one of those SLOTS labeled as 1,2,3,4 are the slots that power the back chips ?
Thank you !
Hard to tell. Usually connector 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 is in parallel. From the picture it seem not parallel.
I don't own sp20 so i can't tell, but if you had multimeter, you can measure the connectivity between connector 1 & 2.
1&2 powers one ASICS board 3&4 powers the other ASICS board
excellent post sir!

Ok, that did it.
There is a reset by sd card. I would assume it would go back to default after.
Like this?

As far as I can tell, myminer.io is a local service hosted by your miners - so if you can't connect then they may not be connected to your network. Sometimes you'll see a fragment or old version of the page when no devices are connected. How are they connected now?
yeah .. hosted by your miners .. and you reviewed how many SP-Tech products?
I didn't describe it well.... there is a component of that site which appears to be a local service. Hence the ability to get fragments from crashed units (if they're the last ones) still showing. If it was entirely remote then surely they wouldn't show up.

Hey guys,
I got my 3 SP20 Jackson's about a week ago and i love them, since they were in my living room - I only ran them at night, now I moved them to an empty room. So when i came home today and power on my rigs, i could not connect to myminer.io. Is Spondoolies-tech server down?

How is the performance in a moderate temperature environment?
eg -6 to +6 deg C
eg -6 to +6 deg C
It improves slightly, and it does not like a 35c room it does a little worse.
After about 30C you start to lose full hash rate, 35C you're going to have lost full hash rate, 40C then you're down to 1.35TH or so.

I keep my noisy miners in an outdoor shed. Are you saying i will get better than the advertised 1700ghs at 0deg C ?
If so, thats great. any way to get group buy price without rewarding RS? Not interested in supporting people or companies that feel the need to troll others` threads to promote their own products, that behavior reeks of insecurity about something.....
looking for about 16 new miners
no above 1650 is redlining the miners. and it burns a ton of power. efficiency drops like a rock. If you have them in a good room and you have cheap power
run around 1500gh check power draw. then try 1550gh check power draw. then try 1600gh check power draw. decide if adding 50 or 100gh is wroth the extra watts.
Hint it really is not for almost all of us.

You don't need to pay the reservation fees. Only 40% are going to RoadStress. It's recommended to do so.

0a) What to Expect (top)
SpondooliesTech's SP20 brings 8 of their RockerBox architecture to a small form factor device. Two hashing boards are housed in a well designed case
and are cooled with a single 120mm fan. No power supply is provided, but a custom controller is included internally.
0b) What You Need (top)
You will need a few accessories and a power supply to get started. Due to the load required, I would recommend two smaller PSUs over a larger one.
Click your flag to find everything you need to get started at Amazon!
1) Powering (top)
SP20's do not come with a power supply, and you will need a typical computer PSU with 4xPCI-E 6 pin power connectors. Strictly all 4 connectors are
required. We also need to tell the PSU to always be on, as there isn't a motherboard to do this. Cut a paper clip into a U and insert it into the green wire
and either black wire to the side of the green wire. Tape it up for safety. The power supply will now be controlled by its switch on the rear socket.
2) Cooling (top)
A single extremely powerful 120mm Y.S. TECH FD121238UB fan is used in a negative pressure tunnel arrangement and can move up to 200CFM. Each chip
has its own custom aluminium finned heatsink on a copper plate. Noise levels at the default 80% are very loud but also required to reach the rated hash
rate at ambient conditions below 30C. It may not be possible to achieve the full speed above 30C, which may be ~1500GH at 40C.
3) Case (top)
The SP20's case is designed to be stacked top to bottom or side to side. It is meticulously designed all over and each piece fits exactly. With the revised
model (SP20E, pictured), there is no risk of modules moving during shipping.
The shipped weight of an SP20 is 6.1kg, dimensions of the shipping box are 235 x 240 x 495mm. An unpacked SP20 weighs 5.0kg and measures
130 x 148 x 395mm.
4) Configuration (top)
Configuration is straightforward due to the simple due to the on-board controller, web interface and DHCP default.
Wiring:
Configuration:
Antpool Register!
BTCGuild Register!
GHash IO Register!
5) Troubleshooting (top)
TBD as problems arise.
