It would be nice if Bitmain could review their own threads and answer some above questions asked.  You would probably get more sales that way.
Can you answer these questions above please.

I think they want you to go to their ticket system.  I would like it to be on forum aswell.  But I am just a little guy .

Go put in a ticket for quickest help.

I have but the answer I got was simple to say the least and unclear if everything to power an S4 with ring terminals was included in the B2 model.
They stated something about the B1, but there is no way to order that from their site.  Sometimes it would be nice to order by phone in these cases.  I will try another ticket, thanks notlist3d.

Just for the record this isn't me you're waiting on, Bitmain replies will come from the BitmainWarranty account. There are a lot of threads though so they may not be checking all of them on an hourly basis. My information regarding the APW3 is also from release time so things may change.

How about you or Bitmain comment on the S2 upgrade kit?

I think the no comment speaks for itself.   It has been asked many many times.  There are a few pushing it up every few day's.

I would not count on a upgrade kit.   They are secretive on a lot but I think they would respond more recent if they had plans of even looking into S2 upgrade seriously.

Dogie, it wasn't directed at you.  I know you can only comment on what's allowed or known.  But one thing you can help with is getting better clarification on this psu for us.  I've contacted support but there answers are vague and I'm left back where I started.  This is what you are here to help with since you can put it in terms we understand not operator answers like "It should work, just buy it and see".
Again the silence is bothersome and in the past it is a known sign that something is up with many companies.  Our point in this forum is to address issues that could easily be adverted by the simplest tasks, it's just damaging to a company not to listen.

All I wanted to know is if the B2 model of the psu will work with the S4 without additional wiring.  The 10 gauge wire with the hoop terminals.  My reply from Bitmain was to use the B1 psu but it isn't listed on the website so how do I acquire that?  It lead me to believe also in another reply from Bitmain that both sets of wires are included in the B2 psu.  So which is it?

They can help you get the PSU for the S4.  This psu they are selling is a good psu, but requires OVER 110 electricity.  So if you are running 110 yes you need a different PSU then the one this thread is for.

[Meech]

I have and I'm still waiting for another useless answer but I will play the game again..... but I'm running out of quarters!

Are you on 110 or 220/240? 

If yes on 220/240 sure buy this PSU.  If running 110 NO do not buy this PSU and buy from their support.  No more quarters needed

[sidehack]

Nothing else, buy this PSU, cut the cables off, twist-lead and bolt the wires directly to the S4's rings. Take about $1 in hardware and some good electrical tape.

I don't believe you can buy from support, ie old psu on 110v ever since the new psu was released, but I may be wrong.

Thought about it but I'm looking to resell it on Ebay and didn't want to "hack" anything although I know it would work.

I have 1100w Platinum PSUs in my sig that can output power over heavy gauge 12V cables with ring terminals on both ends(can give you the cabling for free with purchase).  However, it may not fit quite right in the S4 case, I'm not sure what the form factor is(mine are 1U units, 14.28" L x 2.15" W x 1.57" H / 362.7mm x 54.5mm x 40.0mm).  If you can't get anything figured out with Bitmain PM me, I can probably help you out.

I will research it this weekend.  Thought to inquire this with you a month ago but I am looking for a solution that will fit in the case as I'm planning to resell it.  Thanks I will get back to you.

What would you take for it without a PSU?

@notlist3d - Have you tried anything from the link you posted?  Seems like a dead site unused for months.  Maybe Dogie can agree, is Zendesk an old site and should all correspondence be through Bitmain's main site?

I will pm you since I noticed what you posted in the S2 upgrade thread.  I have an S2 complete and 1 S2 no psu with 1 bad hashing board left.  Wanted to keep 1 S2 just in case (By an act of God) the S2 kits were released.  I needed it for a review.  As well as the S4 with a psu that seems to be unable to output more than 1100 watts without resetting and is unable to handle undervolting.

It's been maybe 2 months since I had a ticket on it. Was dealt with fast though back then.

It should not be unused, I believe it is most current way to contact them.   They did email at one time but I thought it moved to this.   And it should be maned... if you are not getting a response I'm not sure what is causing that.

But my advice is sound if you have 220/240 yes you can order this and use it.   If 110 no do not order this as it most likely will not even start on 110.  For 110 you need them to help you get OEM of old PSU, unless you use something else.
