I have two miner and already prepared to molex adapter - one for each miner.
Is it safe to just plug them in?

The question about the black was: Which black should I shortcut to the green one as there are 7 black cables.
It does not matter whichever you like. They all go into one place inside psu
Make sure you use separate wiresto plug molex into.  As gator advise be sure to spread the load

Ok, so it has to be a PSU. hmm X_X

I have a spare Xilence 550W. Unfortunately it has 7 black cables and 1 green one.
The label looks like this.


I am counting 9 fields per row (2 rows)

The connector to the mainboard hat 10 connectors per row (2 rows)

How do I identify the correct black cable?
Every black is correct. How many boards do you have. If one just use two blacks from PCI-e and two yellows
It is not single rail as gator ( he is a pro also) advise so be careful.

Best option would be to use any cheap psu with green and black shortcuted.

Thank you for the reply

a) What do you mean by "green and black shortcuted"
b) How would I actually power-on the PSU?
That is exactly what I mean Smiley
You need to shortcut green wire with black wire on 24 pin mother board connector otherwise it will not start
And additional advise make your wire connections tight otherwise they can melt
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6xLy8rZRjU8&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6xLy8rZRjU8

They melt because you load too much power onto one wire. Try to spread the load out to as many wires as you can.
Never take the PSU to it's max box wattage, some of its watts are for the 5v and motherboard.
Try an get single power rail PSU if you can as that helps avoid some loading issues as well.
I know dude, but they also melt when molex is crapy with bad pin contact or you are in a hurry and just spike two wires and tape them
That was I what I tried to explain Smiley

If you have the green and black wire shorted, and still no luck, another issue for non-mining boards can be a surge protected USB ports.
I try to avoid USB hubs that mention surge/power protection.

on your 24pin wire you have to shortcut the green wire with a black one (ground).
Outherwise the PSU is not starting. Your power button on PC is doing the exact same thing

Thank you, I found the section that describes how to patch cgminer.
For everybody else (and my own reference) here is the link again:

http://sven-goessling.de/14/12/2013/der-40ghs-hex16b-bitfury-asic-bitcoin-miner-auf-dem-raspberry-pi-14-12-13/


Another question arises:

I want to use them on my raspberryPI, so is there any possible way to connect them to a normal plug somehow?
Anybody done yet? My cgminer does not have a desktop-psu.

Thank you

Otherwise you will need to find 12V/7A adapter if such thing exist at all

Just go for cheap psu fast and proven

Ok Thanks for the info.

I have now connected as described and plugged in via usb. Unfortunately cgminer does not find any usb devices.

Code:
...

I am using cgminer 3.10.0 on debian.

Dmesg seems to be able to identify the device correctly, but cgminer doesn't wanna use it.


This one is kind of bad, but still shows clearly the color of the connected wires



And here how it is connected to the psu

I just received the following:





Wasn't there supposed to be a power connector?

How do I power up the device?

Marto posted on the technobit webpage the right connection

http://technobit.eu/index.php?fc=module&module=clblog&controller=posts&post=4

Just use your yellow wire of molex for +12V and black for ground!


Pci-e wires are thicker Grin

ZCVYIHWDO    2013-12-04  still pending any news on that ??

Hi Braindead, if Jeffrey waits for an order made on 2013-11-28, I'm not too surprised yours isn't sent yet.
BTW, waiting for 4 boards too, order paid on 2013-12-01, I'll post here when they'll be sent, so people can estimate when they can expect their orders.
advertised 4 weeks delay is over, too bad.
But remember that as always, crypto is a gamble.

order shipped yesterday.

Yes my order was shipped yesterday .. it was made 05/12 i should receive them next week, also i´ve send some damaged boards to their company, this time my emails was answered very fast and things went smoothly

Dear Marto!

Thanks for your help. I got a new email about my second order. It is in transit.
All of my orders are in transit so i think it will arrive next week.

So Technobit is NOT a SCAM COMPANY , only think is you have to wait a lot. Smiley

MARTO?? I am still waiting for your answer.  Huh Undecided


A few minutes ago I got an email about my second order.
"
Message:
Your order is ready to send. Please organize your transport.
