On the 3 boards on the miner, each one has 3 sockets, one socket says ground, another 12v, so I assume the 3rd is 5v....on the breakout board, there one ground and one 12v, and I assume the other 4 are 5v....I know not to split the hashboard between power supplies, but if I put 2 hashboards to one power supply (6 cables) do I need to worry about designating the exact cables ground-ground and 12v-12v between the hashboard and breakout board

So basically my question is I have 3 ground sockets and 3 12v sockets going to 2 power supplies

What do you mean by ground socket? Every socket has own grounds and each socket need 12v output.

If your plan is to put two PSU check this image below what is the correct one to put PSU.

This is the correct one and below is the incorrect one.

Also, you won't get the maximum hash rate of each board with 110v power.

Yeah I got that, my question was about the small sockets on the board of the miner, one says ground and the other says 12v on each bay, whether those need to be plugged specifically to sockets on breakout board

this is pretty senseless question

there are

 ten identicial   6 pin sockets on the s9   

all are six pin    so what else do you mean

What PSU are you using? I've never had to set one up that had a breakout board. I'm assuming you have preassembled 6-pin cables to make the connection from the PSU to the S9. If your cables are properly assembled they only fit the connection on the S9 boards one way.

Is this similar to what you are talking about it?

Yes very similar, but one specific socket says 12v and one socket says ground, just wanted to know if it’s important....


And thank you everyone for helping me >.<

you need to make an account with imgur.com and photo your breakout board  then post the link to the photos here.

Those 6 pin plugs are the very same used by gpus on ATX psus. All they have is three 12v and three ground, nothing else.

Pin	Name	Color	Description
1	COM	Black	Ground
2	COM	Black	Ground
3	COM	Black	Ground
4	+12VDC	Yellow	+12 VDC
5	+12VDC	Yellow	+12 VDC
6	+12VDC	Yellow	+12 VDC

There is no 5v.

Each hashboard has 3 (6pin) plugs, and those three should be fed from a single PSU. I think you could even theoretically use 3(4) psus, one for each hashboard (3 6pin plug each) and the controller. You are also supposed to ensure the controller comes online (powered) first which also uses its own 6pin...

Here i attached the image... it shows ground on the left

I gave you a merit  for posting the photo.  as for photo the ground on the board it is a meaningless reference. for your purposes.

what matters is as follows..

all your black wires on all your pcie cables  that go into the break out board are on  the side that has the clip

and all your black wires  on all your pcie cables that go into the miner are on the side  that has the clip

look at this thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2215578.0

mine are black and yellow

but the good wires are all  black to clip   and   yellow to no clip

you would be black to clip  and white to no clip

photo it before you turn it on.

since you want 2 psu's

you should  just  use 1 psu  and do 2 boards  with the controller

show us that photo

one of us will say it is good. or bad.
