Any help would be appreciated Title: Re: S5 antminer without IO board Post by: MyRig on September 24, 2016, 05:22:07 AM You need the Control PCB (IOBoard) to operate...

Any help would be appreciated You need the control board, you can find them on Ebay pretty cheap. Here's an example to get you going http://www.ebay.com/itm/BeagleBone-Black-BB-Black-BB-board-BB-controller-Antminer-S7-S5-S5-or-S4-/172366279843?hash=item2821d4b4a3:g:1rIAAOSwCGVX7M2o (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BeagleBone-Black-BB-Black-BB-board-BB-controller-Antminer-S7-S5-S5-or-S4-/172366279843?hash=item2821d4b4a3:g:1rIAAOSwCGVX7M2o) You will also need the ribbon cables that go from the control board to each miner blade and one control board power cable. |
