Title: S1 Antminer USB question ..
Post by: dlowings on May 06, 2014, 07:17:15 PM
Looking down the line, I was wondering if there was a way to consolidate my S1's a little bit… I'm looking at the data cables to blade 1 and blade 2 and my first thought was this was nothing more then a scaled down db9 com cable connection that the control board converted into USB as chain 1 and chain 2 … I know this is a long shot, but would there be a way to control more then two blades, and having them all linked to a single control board ? In the gain department I would free up a lot of network ports ..

Limitation

Only support 1 or 2 chains.
Total Hash rate can not be more than 120G per chain.

Future: We are designing a type of new control board based on ARM A8. When it is ready, the chain number can be up to 16, and the chip number can be up to 256 per chain.
