Title: help with Identifying breakoutboard
Post by: cryptocointrading on September 02, 2017, 05:33:06 PM
I bought a second hand asic and it had a breakout board included

The seller is not responding anymore so I have no idea for what PSU it is

Could anyone try to identify what psu this breakoutboard is for? If you want close up pictures from anything let me know


Any help would be appreciated

I've never seen a board like that. Sorry.

You did not say what kind of ASIC. I am only familiar with S7's and S9's. Maybe that was used for an older model ASIC?

thank you for trying to help

it is for an avalon 6
they use 1100 watt

But that should not really matter I am just clueless what PSU those 2 weird connectors fit on

Yeah, I've never owned an Avalon. But I wouldn't mind having 3 or 4 of the 741's to add to my small mining room farm. Alas, they won't send me any unless I send the some BTC first. LOL  :P

You might go here:http://www.centrix-intl.com/ (http://www.centrix-intl.com/) and type in "Avalon" or "breakout board" in the search box on top left. Maybe you can figure out what different power supplies can be used with Avalon 6.

Good luck.

Lurking around I found this, that is clearly the type of connector mine has
but no way I can obtain a bladecenter psu cheaply. Gues I just have to get an ATX PSU since I can't really find breakout boards cheaply in europe and customs has an eye out for me if I import

I paid more shipping and customs costs than for the actual miner


I've tried every search possible to locate the "power backplane" for that power supply. Do you know the part number or have any suggestions? It looks like it might be a part of the chasis backplane assembly, but of course we're only interested in the plugs/connectors for the psu.

How many positions has the connector have?

1. There's this one from Digikey, but it has only 35 positions i.e 24 signal and 11 power.

2. This one is 24 signal and 12 power

3. This is also 24 signal 12 power, but has a twist to it ... seems to be a male one

If you could give the reference written on one of the two black connectors, it'll help identifying which PSU they match.

Edit:

I'm 99% confident this is this one from TE connectivity, 2-1926733-5 :

and the following PSUs seems to use the corresponding header

But if you are looking for breakout boards from EU, I have some in stock.

DPS-1200FB1 or DPS1200FBA will work for your 1100w need, but the fan will spin fast, and the high pitch noise is annoying.
The 1500w one will be a bit more quiet, but much more expensive.
Ebay "common slot 1200w platinum" or "common slot 1500w platinum"

For something quiet, DPS-2000BB, or DPS-2500BB, but you need to add your own 60mm fans.

Thank you for the reply, it has an FCI logo
and both have this written on them:

10108888-R102S3SLF P242626P11.



Sadly none of the PSU's you linked I can obtain at a reasonable price.
you wouldn't happen to make a breakout board for this guy?

such a steal

I have those PSUs in my HP C7000 enclosure.
Unfortunately, the location of the AC power connector and the DC output one make it difficult to create a breakout board.

The DPS-2500BB could be an easier option for you if you don't mind the extra work needed to add the fans.

I am 100% positive that breakout board is the internal board from a Cointerra Terraminer 4 version 2.0. (2.0 were not release to the public)

My tech team wired that up and sold it to customers. Whoever you bought that from got it from me originally.

This is the PSU that connects to the boards:

I thought those studs looked like a Cointerra innards, but I didn't recognize the PSU connector as being from them at all. Nifty.

And DO NOTE that the power supply Fanatic linked to is 1 Output 48V 26.8A 90 ~ 264 VAC Input. Today's miners like the Avalons use high current 12VDC. Feed them 48V and there will be fireworks followed by much crying...

Interesting that the Terraminer used 48V and good choice as it lessens the strain on the buck mosfets (lower currents) and allows for thinner copper power planes up to the bucks. I rather assume miners have moved to using 12v mainly as a legacy thing from early miners like the s1 and others which were easily powered from small ATX supplies. Now is mainly because of that legacy and the abundant supply of multi-kw server-grade 12v PSU's. At least the string topo now used keeps currents to a reasonable level though.


edit: Never mind... wrong supply linked

bah I actually linked the wrong version of the correct PSU.

The cointerra is a PET1300-12-054NA

The exact same PSU but 12v. I still have a few floating around here.
