Hell,if you need a "whip",the connector & whatever inches of wire length,I can send ya a few from old dead PSU's I have layin around  Grin

PM me & you pay shipping,problem solved  Wink

Thanks but I've already made an order. Thinking back I should've made a bulk order for all the other AMT victims.

Maybe I should make a "AMT fixit kit" with all the parts that should had been included in the first place.



No problem,I have a bunch if anyone wants em  Grin   Got some with the male 4pin molex too.

No idea..........I have 6 Antminers & 3 GPU's & 1 Gridseed coming to play with  Cheesy

I got a bunch of those if anyone needs one,two,three   Cool

Does anybody know what this connector is?



An old floppy drive power connector Huh  It says 5v on the right,which would possibly correspond to that type connector...........

http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html#floppy

Regtable said it is a floppy drive connector that powers the back-plane.

Why are all these connectors a mystery?

Isn't there a manual somewhere?

No.

No manual.

No instructions.

No chicken scratch on a bar napkin.

Nothing.


These AMT folks are insane!  What do they hope to achieve by shipping miners that need assembly without instructions?

So the part that I need is a molex to 4-pin connector. I've found it online for $.93 but in order it to get here in a decent amount of time, shipping will cost $12.50.





That sucks. Do you have any pc recyclers in your area? I probably have a dozen or so around in old computers. Another option would be to use an older psu for the back-plane and build a null cable  so both psu's start at the same time. just throwing around some ideas. I'd like to see you up and running.

So no 4-pin connectors at the local Frys. Typical for them since they only carry half the stuff you need half the time you need it.

I may have a 4-pin someone in an old machine somewhere.

AMT, it really sucks you didn't included the proper cables or any documentation.

Good you got it working... hope I can get mine working with your help!

Anyway,  this is what I got when they shipped it:



I may be able to salvage 3 boards... the other two have their power connectors ripped out due to shipping... hope AMT gives will let me RMA the boards.



From what I can see in your picture it looks like only 1 board is salvageable. it looks like the others are separated from the heat sinks. From the sounds of things you want perfect contact to dissipate the heat. very hard to tell from the photo though. Honestly if it was me I would just pack the whole thing back up and send it back. Even if I had to pay the shipping, I would not want to be responsible for trying to fix that.

You are kidding about the manual, aren't you? They have had a broken web portal up for months that is supposed to have all this info in it. They paid for a video that was sent out to editing about a month and a half ago that still hasn't seen the light of day. They said on friday that by the end of the day they would post details on setting these things up but instead decided to open 2 new threads and lock the old one and then disappear on us again. I didn't opt for the kit because I feared something like this happening and was not willing to forgo my rights to a working, profitable miner due to AMT's incompetence.

Your psu can provide 104 Amps on 12V only. Not good....for 5 modules
about conector, other folks know maybe?
Guy's?



Not plugging in all 5 yet. I'm only will go one by one until the other power supply shows up.
Pm mell he made it I am sure he can give you a hand.there is a video of his miner also
I can't unfortunately...

PM sent. Hopefully I can get this connection identified so I can start testing blades.
