S7 controller has nine 18- pin jacks So what can we do with it?

[VirosaGITS]

Not 100% sure if it's the same cable on Alibaba. Usually there is a minimum order quantity and length is customizable for as low as $.25.

It just take me to a login screen, and i can't find them on ebay using that name. If someone buy a batch, let me know i'd be interested. Even easier if you buy it to Canada. I don't know alibaba but if they can sell a batch and ship it to my address, maybe a 3rd party that know Alibaba could do the deal. Then it'd be easier to ship them out to whoeever need them.

But i'm guessing this is probably what Jabberwock is doing anyways so we can probably wait until he has a batch for sale.

I'm dealing directly with a connector and cables manufacturer who is making me those custom cables for the S5/S7.
I'm buying them with larger batches of my other supplies from him to save a bit on shipping.
As I said I'm not looking to make a profit on them, I'm considering it as a group buy.

Thats good, i'm still waiting to hear back from you. Please let me know when you get the long S5/S7 18 pins long cables. I'd also pick up a couple of 16pin long cables if those are available wherever.

he says ^^^^ that he has 180 of those in stock already.

shipping for multiple is expensive, though, maybe we better off if someone will get 50-100 in US, then we can get from that person. I am good for 4-6.

Last message he sent me was that he was out of stock, he has not replied to the thread saying they were on stock since then. But i saw he has a NA reseller, maybe he could send a Batch to him so we can get the cables for cheap.

Sorry, I didn't update everybody in private messages about the availability.
I'll send some to Finksy with other things by the end of next week, he'll dispatch them from Canada.
And he'll probably order some from my supplier if it's not done already.

Question: one miner=three connectors? Could you connect a total of three S7 to one controller? Or only two?
I also see that Phil used one short connector from the second S7, so only 2 long ones needed, right?
Therefore to hookup three machines you need four, not six long ones-am I right or not?
Thanks.

Yes. It is possible. But this miner together with 3 cubes with one controller is slower, as three separate s7.

So the miners will hash slower when running 3 off 1 controller? How about 2 miners on 1 controller?

When I connect my early B1 S7 hash board (with different housing than the later S7s) to B3 controller, the controller won't recognize the hash board and shows ------- ------- ------. But the hash board runs by itself with it's own controller. Any suggestions?

Yes. position the cables.

they came and they are great.  i will write a trust later today.

here is a shot of my controller loaded for 6 boards.  so:

 1)full
2) full
 3) full
4)full
5) blank
6)full
7) blank
8 )full
9) blank

2 custom long with 4 stock short  this allows for 1 cat 5 not 2 and 1 unused controller

That is surprising. Can you examine the controller boards and see if there are differences / different Rev numbers on the PCB?

I seem to remember that the early S7 used the S5+ controller and that a difference with the Later S7 was that the orientation of the 18 Pin connectors was changed from 4 / 5 on each side mirrored to all 9 of the connectors being oriented the same way?

However I had expected to be able to swap Hash boards between Systems / Controllers?

So use space #1-4 for 4 boards, or leave a blank one in between.

Yes, board rev numbers are different, old one S7_SPOWER HashBoard_54_V1.3, and the new one S7_SPOWER HashBoard 54 V1.6

Edit: here is the pic of two boards, they are physically different, new one protrude at least 2" higher from the housing , old one is almost flushed.

What about the Controller Boards, are they also different Revs?

Board dimensions might be the same, I haven't opened B3 S7 to compare, opened only early B1 because of 2 defective boards and of course with permission from BM. Here is a pic of early B1 and B3 S7s.



Controller board connector orientation is also different (where do I find rev #?)

[philipma1957]

my batch 1 controller is running my batch 1 and my batch 2 s-7.  my batch 2 boards are marked 575.


they are running on 240 volt  using 9.9amps = 2376 watts and getting 4610gh

fans are 55% speeds are 3720 to 3960 rpm

errors are 0.0001%

it is 68f in New Jersey and I have them running a little under clocked on purpose due to the heat

Just going back to the original question. Have you tried a B3 Hash Board on the B1 controller?

I have 2 B1s and 1 B3, this particular B1 is different than other two hashboard rev and connector orientation wise. My other B1 is identical to my B3. Is your B1 similar to mine (rev V1.3)?

Rich

No, I haven't. My other B1 and B3s are hashing perfectly so I didn't bother to make any changes. This one is with only one hashing board so I tried to add it to one of the others while I wait for replacement instruction from BM.

Ok that's fine, don't go playing with Miners that are working and making Money.  It was just out of interest / to establish what works with what & why?

I will shoot photos tomorrow,

 but here is a second screen shot. compares freq 568 fans 55% to freq 581 fans 60%

I am still a bit heat challenged As it got past 70f today and has not dropped much.




freq = 581
fans = 60%
hash =9364
errors = 0.0018%

The new S7 software supports only 6 x  S7 blades.

I'm disappointed.

so my batch 1 with stock firmware on the controller just becomes more valuable?  as it can do 9 blades.

[Finksy]

That is strange, I don't see the reasoning for that change.  My cables from J4bberwock will be here (Canada) on Monday, and my order from the manufacturer is taking longer than expected and will be another ~2 weeks in case anyone wants small amounts in North America.  I will update here and in my PSU thread when they arrive.

Will he still be able to connekt 9 blades?

Have you tried it ?

Port 5, 7, 9 does not work for me at all. Not even with six blade.
