Title: Block Eruptor Blades
Post by: Cobega on July 25, 2013, 05:09:52 PM
hello,

today the replace blade arrives.
It wasn't untouched, that's curios.
Now there is a problem again:

I take the blade online, (my router IP Range is okay, I work with 2 other blades @ the moment), I also changed the IP of the 2 other blades, but it is not possible to get connected to the blade via internet. Also the blade shines very green while starting, there is a LED blinking green very often, while starting. The blade wasn't original packed.
I hope you unterstand my trouble I had with the blades until now.
First the hashrate was too low, now the blade isn't able to get connected to internet (so I can't start setup it) and it was NOT original packed.
Any body an idea why the blade isn't able to connect to local intranet? My router shows me the new device, but I don't get any connection, I made an hardware reset.

Kind regards;

seems like the ethernet controller is broken.
there is another problem:

Turning the blade clock to "high" makes the chips all to XXXXXXXXXX....
Turning them to low makes them all to OOOOOOOOOOO

Any idea?
I right to friedcat to send me a new ethernet controller, or is there any other reason for the problem above.

Kind regards;

Does it properly hash @ 10GH/s in low speed ? If so, it means all the lane voltages are tuned too low to support High clock speed, which explains the XX's across the board.

currently it is hashing with:

Should I buy a new POS for this blade?

 Should look more like this  :-\

Seems you have a faulty unit :(

EDIT: Having said that, you really should check the lane voltage with a multimeter before escalating with friedcat.

I pissed on so much.
First blade = too low hashrate--> sent to friedcat

Get this blade here. Now ethernet adapter is broken AND blade seems to be broken.
Friedcat we have to find a solution for this, this is my SECOND broken board.
Also I haven't get my shipping costs refunded by friedcat :(.

leave it some time, it wont go instant to 12GH, mine used to go there in about 2 mins

currently I can't test it...just got 2 ethernet controllers but 3 mining blades :(.
Have to wait until friedcat sent me new ethernet controller.

Anybody in Germany having one ethernet controller which isn't needed @ the moment?

Kind regards;

Got my BE blade replaced by friedcat after less than two months in work :-/

Symptoms was quite wierd:
https://i.imgur.com/Phhh53Y.png

Its web-admin page reported 9 GH/s but pool showed 2 GH/s sustained. I've restarted blade and immediatly got this https://i.imgur.com/OBD9ZFh.png

All chips reporting 'X'. Heatsink was cold. I can ping blade and web interface works.

When I press 'Switch server' I get garbage in the Current Server line, example https://i.imgur.com/mz1Q7Fr.png

When I press 'Switch Clock' I get another garbage in the Current Server line, example https://i.imgur.com/8vCYP3L.png

After pressing 'Refresh' button I have another random number in the Current Server line, example https://i.imgur.com/Phhh53Y.png

And so on.

* * *

Blade arrived with only one red fuse (I've shipped back with two).
Still got no shipping fee refund from friedcat ($50).

xxxxxx means that all the chips are broken, so no wonder blade is cold, chips are not working. make sure u inserted the pieces one into another ok. i has same error until i noticed i had to push the pieces a little more one into another.

would be nice if friedcat would post here some help for us.
here the same, there was only 1 fuse in my paket.
the modules of the blade weren't in the original packing.
meaning they are not welded.


Kind regards;

No it doesn't. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX means not enough power, there is no way its a cooincidence you've had such a high failure rate, AND get a straight XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX board. Check how you are powering it, its almost certainly wrong.

hello,

any idea what the limit of the V's is? I have checked my 3 blades. Many of them use 1.23V while working on mode: "high".

I have had my blade for about a month now.  Works great.  Without over clocking I'm running 10.7 all day, every day.  When I go to over clock I had the same problem with the chips coming up all xxxxxxxx out.  Soon as i find the problem I will let you know.  Sorry your having so many problems with your hardware.  Just buy a new router for your blade setup. set that router to just an ip for your mining. Then get a 24port switch to assign all your hardware an ip. DONE.
