Title: Please Help: How do I connect RockMiner R-BOX to PSU Post by: FlutterPie on June 27, 2014, 06:44:05 PM I got my RockMiner R-BOX today and they didn't each come with a wallwart like I thought. But this means I can just hook it up to my 600W PSU that I have just laying around.
The power things I got plug right into the r-box and the other end is a red and white wire. Can someone please tell me how I would go about hooking that up to my PSU.

To hook up to a PSU you will need something like http://minersource.net/collections/frontpage/products/atx-to-dc-power-adapter Title: Re: Please Help: How do I connect RockMiner R-BOX to PSU Post by: FlutterPie on June 27, 2014, 07:16:46 PM I got my RockMiner R-BOX today and they didn't each come with a wallwart like I thought.

They can be powered off any 2.5mm DC barrel connector, so any 12v supply of at least 7A with that connector Title: Re: Please Help: How do I connect RockMiner R-BOX to PSU Post by: FlutterPie on June 27, 2014, 07:58:36 PM I got my RockMiner R-BOX today and they didn't each come with a wallwart like I thought.

Connect the red r-box wire to a yellow PSU wire, and the white r-box wire to the ground (black) wire on the PSU.

All the wiring is black, I just looked and I don't see my multimeter. So it looks like I will have to use a schematic or something to find out what one is "yellow" and what is "black".

I'm in Ohio the little yellow box shown by minersource is pretty good. I have one of them and I am running some gridseed blades with it. cablez has a thread on this site direct plug-in to your atx psu and to your r-boxes .. i think his gear is a little better then the box minersource has. but for me I have both.

Title: Re: Please Help: How do I connect RockMiner R-BOX to PSU Post by: fractalbc on June 28, 2014, 04:59:14 AM 1 - please do not try to make your own cable without a volt meter to verify your work.
2 - please do not cut the cables out of your power supply. The power supply has a much longer useful life than any mining hardware you buy today. 3 - please do not try to make your own cables without a volt meter to verify your work. 4 - see #3 You are not going to get 7 R-Box connected via molex adapters. They have PCI-E to barrel adapters for sale but they generally won't work on R-Box. A 20 dollar break out board is probably your best choice at this time, but please, pretty please, find your volt meter before you plug anything into a miner. |
