8   Other / Newbies / Erupter Blade  on: Today at 03:49:48 AM 

I have an Erupter Blade that I got off E-bay it doesn't look like any of the models the guides are for it is a V2. I would upload an image but I do not know how yet in this forum. Anyways I bought a Y-Power Connector Cable it has 4 Blacks 2 Orange and 2 Red. The Red have no marking on them what so ever. The Orange on the other hand say 300V just like the Yellow cables on a Molex. When every I try to set it up like the guide with the oranges on the plus side and 2 blacks in each slot on the negative side. This makes the device blink a few times then it shuts down the PSU not good the PSU shuts down to protect devices. So then I tried 1 red on the positive side and one black on the negative side blinks a few times then stops blinking Ethernet cord shows a solid orange light with periodically blinking green. I tried connecting to the IP and Port but to no avail takes me straight to Bing.com Any help would be appreciated I am very new to mining and could use as much help as possible if someone would also inform me how to upload an image here it would be greatly appreciated.
 
I got the images thanks to another posters advice so disregard the no image stuff.

Running a Blade off a single Molex is dodgy, the Blade uses more power than the Molex's rating.

I run mine off a 6-pin PCI-E connector, which I made using a PCI-E extension cable.  Cut off the male end, and connect the wires to the green Phoenix connector.  Job done.

Some PSUs won't run with only a 12V load, they expect there to be some 5V load too - my old Zalman 1000W unit would run my Blades at all until I hooked up a few fans to the 5V line.  Now I use a Corsair CX750 which runs perfectly with only a 12V load and nothing on the 5V.

If you're still stuck, I'll take a pic of mine this evening.

So is what you are saying is I should hook it up with the 2 Oranges that say 300V on each wire then I take the 4 Blacks(grounds) and plug 2 in each slow on the negative sides? Then hook up a couple fans to the PSU so it doesn't shot off when I turn it on.

Pretty much, yep. :)

Get back to this..."Ethernet cord shows a solid orange light with periodically blinking green"

I am assuming you are running windows.....Open a command prompt and make sure your computer is on a 192.168.1.XXX IP address.  Then try to access the blade again.
