Good News - Just received my Avalon 6!!!
Bad News - It's missing the LED Dongle that I see you guys showing so I can't connect it to the PI controller! Just called the vendor to fix the issue ASAP.

Newbie question - Is this a proprietary dongle / connector or is there some other places I can grab 1 quick to reduce my lack of patience waiting.
Next Question for preparation is :
1) Is there a specific order that I need to power up these things. (i.e. Controller first and then the Avalon / Hashboards)
2) Does it really matter which of the 6 VGA / PCI-E port I connect from the back of the EVGA G2 1300W PSU? I'm currently using the bottle 4 and single PCI, skipping the dual cables.
3) To connect to the Avalon 6, I only need to look up the DHCP address on my router and then point the browser to that IP address like the Antminer or is there a different procedure for these PI controllers?
4) What does the LED, Blue, Yellow, Red on the Dongle you show means. Does it matter which port, top or bottle from the Daisy chain connector from the Avalon to the LED controller / PI? What does the LED color below these Daisy chain cable represent?
thanks for your help.
hmmm, did we buy from the same vendor, I wonder. Mine was missing the data cable.
1) Is there a specific order that I need to power up these things. (i.e. Controller first and then the Avalon / Hashboards)
----doesn't matter.
2) Does it really matter which of the 6 VGA / PCI-E port I connect from the back of the EVGA G2 1300W PSU? I'm currently using the bottle 4 and single PCI, skipping the dual cables.
----not really, just use ports marked as VGA
3) To connect to the Avalon 6, I only need to look up the DHCP address on my router and then point the browser to that IP address like the Antminer or is there a different procedure for these PI controllers?
----need to find RPi's IP address, I went to router setup page to find RPi's IP address
4) What does the LED, Blue, Yellow, Red on the Dongle you show means. Does it matter which port, top or bottle from the Daisy chain connector from the Avalon to the LED controller / PI? What does the LED color below these Daisy chain cable represent?
---anything but red is ok, port doesn't matter.
You might check on who you bought from see if same re-seller it's not vendor but possibly re-seller. I have gotten from BlockC and Ehash and there were no issues at all.
