I will have a server psu 2200w so no problem.
I would like to setup, configure and manage them at once not separately. Also do not want to use 7 LAN cables and 1 extra switch.

The Baikal miners can be connected in series and ran from one controller and one network connection.  However I don't know what the limit is on the number you can connect.  We know the minis can connect as a quad, so I would assume you can connect at least 4 of them together.

I read in one of the previous groupbuy threads that you can connect 5 Giants together, but no more than 5.

We recommend to connect no more 5 Giants together. 5 is OK and stable.

this article say to connect the pcie port that are up and not down https://www.eastshore.xyz/tutorial-baikal-giant-a900-x11-miner-900mh-217w-dash-miner/

what's the difference?

I did the payment earlier today... anxiously awaiting my tracking number!

Anyone else get their units and are mining already?

[ANDYSK]

My 7 giants has just arrived. But only with 6 sets of cable.
Wrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Each miner should come with a pair of the cables.  One cable to connect one board to another in the same miner. The second cable is for the interconnect to a second or subsequent miners. So you should have excess cables to make all your connections.  Of course reach out to Baikal about the missing cables, but you should be able to get everything going.

The new Giant showed up this evening.  Pulled it out of the box and attempted to connect 2 Giant's together.  For some reason the second miner would not sync up.  So I tried a couple of different things and still no luck getting them to sync.  So I disconnected the interlink between the 2 and connected a network cable and it was off and running without any issues. 

The software for this miner is just a cut above what you might have come to expect after working with Bitmain, Innosilicon, KNC.   The software has a very polished feel, it refreshes, it is interactive, it has a built in profit switching ability.  Just really nice stuff. 

I don't know why it didn't want to sync when interconnected between the two miners.  I might try again later to see if I can get that to work, but for now it is humming along.

One other observation about the Giant.  The chips just don't get hot.  My temps on these things running in my office are 34-35c right now.   I really don't expect any issues at all going into the summer with the Baikal miners. 

Also for those wanting to split the load on PSU's.  The miner comes with a PCIE Y cable so you can run the entire miner off of one PCIE drop on a PSU with the included splitter.  I currently have 2 Giant's mining X11 running off of a 550w PSU I had sitting around in a box and it is working fine.  You can't get much more efficient and cost effective than that.

oooh built in profit switching?

can you post some screenshots of the UI showing this?

Yes, I would like to know more about what you mean by this.  If mining on nicehash can it switch between algorithms  X11 / X13 / X14 / X15 / Quark / Qubit automatically based on profitability?
