Title: Daisy Chain RHB-500 Post by: LilGhost on October 11, 2013, 03:13:05 AM Hi, I've done some digging on google but haven't come to a sure answer. Is it possible to daisy chain the RHB-500 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F38WT4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)? I currently run 6 miners and a fan (limit of 7 miners and a fan, but I'm playing it safe and only running 6). I'm looking to add a few more miners and was wanting to know if daisy chaining these usb hubs was possible? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much.Title: Re: Daisy Chain RHB-500 Post by: aznatama on October 14, 2013, 06:44:28 PM You need to be careful and identify which port you daisy-chain from so that your devices aren't too deeply nested. Sometimes windows has issues w/ hubs that are too deeply nested.
The RHB-500 is actually 3 separate USB controllers nested together to make a 10-port hub. I have a Satechi hub (which will not support USB asics very well) that I used to plug in all my RHB and ebay hubs. Are you running a bunch of bitfury or USB erupters?

I'm currently running 12 ASICMiner block erupters on 2 hubs.The RHB-500 is actually 3 separate USB controllers nested together to make a 10-port hub.

Title: Re: Daisy Chain RHB-500 Post by: tk1337 on October 15, 2013, 06:44:52 AM As far as the RHB-500 goes, I have them in a star configuration, eight hubs connected to one root hub, all running off a single RaspberryPi w/MinePeon.
(Ignore the two empty hubs, I was preparing for some Blue Bitfury devices and moved 16 erupters to my test rPi, which is at my desk in another room, also for testing MineP eon 2.4.0 pre-release.) http://www.tk1337.com/images/minerwk00.jpg http://www.tk1337.com/images/minerwk01.jpg http://www.tk1337.com/images/minerwk02.jpg http://www.tk1337.com/images/minerwk03.jpg Also connected to the same rPi over proxy are the 4 blades which is off to the left. (PS - Ignore the room color, lol, I haven't painted this room since I bought the house, I'm lazy...)

Just add any third hub to the hub the second one is connected to and you should be good. |
