I just ordered 4 new S5's, (which im going to assume they were running, because they do not look fresh off the factory line- but they hash ok i guess) and also 2 of these PSU APW3-12-1600-B2 from bitmaintech. My third purchase, after the S3 and S5's i already have. My issue is that upon pluggin the psu in, the fan comes on, but fails to even light up the S5, which i checked the actual s5 unit with another PSU i have working on another S5 that i already have. How possible could it be that i had 2 BAD PSU sent? Odds of that are wierd. I sent a ticket in last night and this am woke to this: Hi, please confirm what's the voltage from the wall in your side. The PSU cannot be used in countries with a mains power voltage lower than 205V. The PSU will not start below this voltage. Please confirm whether it's due to this issue. I wrote back that im in the US, upper middle class neighborhood with a house built in the late 90's. Power is fine on my side, even as i told them that the unit works with my own PSU's and not my power issue, but a FAULTY PSU by them. I hope they pay for the freight for return and EITHER A REPLACEMENT AT NO COST TO ME, or just give me back my frickin btc, ill go back to using the 750W like the other 3 i have working just great. - AS OF RIGHT NOW, I GIVE THESE UNITS A FLAT THUMBS DOWN. well see if that changes with the Bitmain Customer Support. -For what its worth in my two cent mining ops  usa 240 wall plugs look like this. |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

If you're interested in platinum PSUs that will work for you, check the link in my sig. Two of the 1100s will power 4 S5s and will run on your residential 120V power just fine. Highly recommend you put them on two different breakers, however. |

Please shed some light, I just wanna know if I'm gonna use this APW3-12-1600 PSU to my antminer S4 (Terminal type) the 1st batch of S4, there is a big difference when it comes to the switch of power supply.
My question is how am I gonna power up this power supply without power button, unlike in my 1st batch S4 it has a builtin power switch with the PSU.
Thanks & best regards

Its auto on, which means when you provide it mains power its already on. Think of it like a phone charger, if you plug it in its just on. |

Please make sure your miners are using 205V or higher at the power outlet. Normal USA 110-120V outlet will not power this PSU on. Minimum Operating Voltage is 205V.

they should work if you have 205 volt or more power in your home. where do you live? If in USA most homes do not have 205 volt power they have 120 volt. |

Probably should clarify that some, it's fair to say all US homes have it however it's generally limited to appliances and the like, meaning you can have a circuit dropped in pretty easy.. |

I have 220 volt most important thing for me is auto power on. i have a few s4 in a location and every time the power is disrupted they require me to travel about half an hour to press the stupid button to turn them back on. |

Is it possible to adapt this PSU to fit the older style S4?
Not with the PDI connectors but with the ones fitted with a nut and bolt?

yes but it would void warranty if you do it. (not sure but I am guessing I am correct) wait for dogie to confirm. |

Yes. BITMAIN AntMiner APW3-12-1600 PSU Series hat is own separate power board to connect the PCI-E cables with S4 cables. Named S4 Power_Board V1.0  but you still need minimum 210V |

Then connect the PCI cables into the board? Does this board come with the PSU as standard? Thanks? |

Just to be totally clear, if you have an S4 and you buy this psu everything to convert it to the ring/terminal connections from pcie is included or do you have to request v1 when ordering? Thanks... this shouldn't be this confusing but I hate to open the package and find out it has the wrong connections.  |
