Title: Blade Eruptor shut down
Post by: ryanb on October 01, 2013, 11:40:04 AM
Hello

I woke up this morning and bfgminer was alerting that the blade eruptor is dead

and i tried to access it but it wasn't accessible from the ip address conf page, so i shut down the psu and turn it back on and it came back

any reason why it did that?

i am using 600 watt power supply and nothing is connected to it but the blade

i purchased the blade 2 weeks ago

Thanks

How is your internet connection? A year ago I had a modem/router that would need to be restarted maybe twice a day. It was an absolute pain in the ass, and couldn't figure out why it did it (eventually got a new one after screwing about with DD-WRT's auto reboot settings for a week).

i think i narrowed it down

the power cable is loose

the internet is fine the raspberry pi and my other rigs are on the same router and all connected

once i touched the green plug the light started blinking

Be careful about NOT over-tightening the screws in the green power connector for your asicminer blades --it is more of a spring action system as opposed to a true screw bearing down on a bare copper wire.

I got seven blades running in a bath of mineral oil that is circulated thru a small automotive transmission oil cooler that I places in my bathroom's sink that is constantly running cold water (water is free in my condo.)
