Title: How to setup a PRISMA using BE Controller ?
Post by: vortexz on November 11, 2014, 12:34:21 PM
Today I just got my PRISMAS but honestly I have NO IDEEA how to set them up.
Anyone here that already configured a PRISMA can help me ?
I need step by step starting with the wiring coming from the BE controller.
How many PCI-E wires I have to connect coming from the PSU ?
Thank you very much !

I think the expected draw is 250w per board, so you would probably want to make sure that you can deliver 300w per board or so, which likely means using both PCI-e cables.

The jumper switches on the boards set the board id number.  It doesn't matter if they are sequential, but it makes it easier.  Directions for setting them and running the 3pin wires are in dogie's asicminer tube setup thread.  Sorry don't have link.

I've not set mine up yet, but I will be doing so today, I presume to plug it into the BE controller would be like any other tube setup.  Remember only one of the uart ports on the BE controller works.

See the Tube guide in my sig, it will do for now until I get my Prisma.
