Need help on S9 first farm setup

[jstew]

The miners are actually several hours away from me unfortunately.  Since the networked pdus are about $500, I might want to reconsider them unless they become absolutely necessary.  But just for sake of it, what are some of the better networked pdus that you know of?

i dont actualy use any so i couldnt tell ya somone else will have to chime in on that , and the prices for a decent one

Gotcha!  Thanks!

a cheaper option may be something liek a rpi or audrino tied to the power switch on the psus , then u could reboot the psu using that , i have heard of it being done but im not all to sure what is needed to make it work

theres ppl here alot smarter then me so im sure if u ask around u can find some options for remote power switching that would be cheap

You can get them cheaper than that.
Especially on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/APC-AP8941-Switched-Rack-200-240V-30A-Vertical-0U-G2-PDU-/302007831318?hash=item465111cb16:g:xg0AAOSwzJ5XfrJf

They are handy if you are far away and need to reboot a locked machine. But as jstew said, it is not very often that you need to do that. And really if you have a locked machine and can't get there for a day, you are only losing out on the hashrate of that one machine for that time, so most likely not a huge impact.

I really appreciate all of your help.  I feel a lot more knowledgeable and confident when talking with the electrician.  Thank you!
