I've recently purchased 2x Antminer S1's at a great price, I also got 2x Switchable 500w Power Supply's included.

I have read the Instruction manual from Bitmain about the S1 and the only difference I can see is that with my setup I don't use PCI-e Connections (even though I have them on the Units) just 12v+ & Ground.

They even have the additional WIFI setup.

I also have these extra little fans that I can't see where they plug into.

I have browsed other peoples rigs & have found similar setups with similar PSU's.

Just wanting to make sure it's all right.

Here is some pictures of what I received but haven't setup.





















Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Looks good,personally I would take one of those black wires to Home Depot & get the same size in yellow & make them up for the positive lines.

That way you can make no mistake between the positive & negative  Cheesy   Might cost all of $5  Cool

3 yellow wires to +v then connect to yellow block on the miner & 3 black wires to -v & connect to the black block on the miner.

Make very sure you have no stray strands  Wink

Nicely done showing the S1's off.  I would agree I would hate to use all black wire myself.  Seems like accident waiting to happen.

BTW this was a working rig prior to being shipped to me, so I assume if each power supply has 4 wires (2 positive + 2 Ground) then I could connect 1 positive and 1 ground to each blade chip connector per PSU ?

I'd go the extra mile & use 3 wires for each blade  Wink
