I just bought 2 antminer s5s without IO boards (for them really cheap). Can these miners hash without the board? If not is there a way to get them to hash without putting in a new piece?

Any help would be appreciated

You need the Control PCB (IOBoard) to operate...

You need the control board, you can find them on Ebay pretty cheap.

Here's an example to get you going http://www.ebay.com/itm/BeagleBone-Black-BB-Black-BB-board-BB-controller-Antminer-S7-S5-S5-or-S4-/172366279843?hash=item2821d4b4a3:g:1rIAAOSwCGVX7M2o

You will also need the ribbon cables that go from the control board to each miner blade and one control board power cable.
