Title: Please help me with my bitcoin blade
Post by: sspri2014 on January 21, 2014, 04:09:51 PM
Hello, all.

I have a bitcoin blade running a single blade working great, however when I plug a new blade into the backplane both blades stop working, I have a single lan wire, for the first blade so I just spliced another cable onto the original cable and it stopped working although the splices work each with their individual blades but not together, do I need some sort of Ethernet box to do the connecting.? If I do what would you recommend for me to connect 2 blades together both 10+ Gh/S.

Thank you for your time.

you can't do that!
you need two separate lan wires connected to 2 separate lan ports on your switch!

Ethernet communication cables are not at all similar to power cables.  Each ethernet cable needs to have its own dedicated port  into a network switch port.  The network switch will then plug into your WAN device that is typically provided by your internet supplier.

I would like to see a picture of your splicing job.  Those wires are tiny!  ;-P
