Apart from being all one unit rather than modular, can anyone advise me of any significant differences between v1 and v2 blades? I`ve just ordered 2 v2 blades and all the config i can find is for v1. I assume (rightly or wrongly) that both are virtually identical to set up on a proxy etc and therefore a seperate config details are not needed.
And v2 blades are not overclockable? Am I correct?
Thanks

Hi, Yeah correct, I have both V1 and V2 blades. The V2 blades are set to a set clock speed however mind actually run at 12856 hash a second so much better than the default 10070. Power wise everything is all the same setup procedure follow the guide by OP. Cheers

i have a question on the efficiency
When i mine using bfgminer on pi and mine coins like PPC or BTC it hashes at max speed
but when i mine any alt coins such as ZET or OSC or any other coin besides PPC or BTC i never get the 10 ghash unless i use mining proxy from windows
any ideas what is going on?

Does the single x here mean that the blade has one bad chip? It persists after restart.
Quoted image removed
Potentially that chip (bank) needs a bit more voltage, otherwise yes. Edit: For the new blades, we have to assume its a dead chip. Yeah, it's a new-gen blade. Just curious, what's the ASICMiner warranty policy? I know it's good for 6 months but I'm sure sure what the stipulations are. Obviously, I wouldn't want to send it back for replacement right now anyway.

Obviously, I wouldn't want to send it back for replacement right now anyway. I read somewhere on these forums that the blades are guaranteed to hash at 10GH/s, so up to 2 chips can be bad and they are still good under the warranty. If you get the full 10.7GH, it's a bonus. I don't know if that's really their policy, but it sounds believable.

I have a couple v2 blades that I can't seem to get working. Have a 750w PSU, wired in as described in OP. As soon as I paper clip the 24port on the PSU to power on, LED1 on the blade flashes 4 times then the PSU powers off and won't start up again until I undo and redo the paperclip. I have seen a couple other posters with similar reports, but no resolution. Same behavior on both blades.
Any ideas?
Also, tried 3 different PSUs, including one that is known good (driving current CPU). All same behavior.
I have now tried 5 different blades and they all do the same thing. Any ideas on this?

Just leave the paperclip stuck in and use the PSU power switch. I don't think you want to be inserting and removing the paperclip with the PSU switched on. But I'm certainly not an expert. Lol.

If I leave the paperclip in and use the PSU switch then, nothing happens (after the first time) when I turn the PSU switch off and on. I turn on the switch, LED flashes a few times then power cuts off (and stays off). Only way I have found to 'reset', is re-seating the paperclip. I am wondering if something is shorting out, but have tried 5 blades, 3 PSUs & 2 molex adapters. I verified polarity. Tried 2 wire and 4 wire configurations. Tested fuses. No idea what to do next.

Sounds like your PSU is FUBAR.

Anyone can help ? Thanks ! I think 50BTC still supports getwork directly, so you can just set up the blades to mine directly on the pool if you want. In the PORTS box put "8332,8332". In the SERVER box put "pool.50btc.com,pool.50btc.com" Put you username:password in the last field twice, just like above: user:pass,user:pass

Hi guys, I have recently acquired a blade and installed and set it up correctly and I managed to over clock it to 1.2V using a local proxy with slush. I recently wanted to change some settings on the configuration page to swap pools on chrome and IE9 and I could not get the settings to update correctly as I want it. After clicking on update/restart, I get, The parameters are updated or the system is simply restarted! 517 I also get a 401 or 40x number in IE9 when trying to update but I get the same previous data (I don't press on back on my browser!). I did a factory reset and put voltage on each lane as it was before (1.05V) and now the only setting I can change is the clock speed or pool swap. Has anyone encountered this problem before and how to rectify it? It is rather frustrating that a piece of technology that is meant to update its settings doesn't do its job right especially when it has a high price tag on it.

The parameters are updated or the system is simply restarted! 517 That's what I get when I update and restart my blades. What are you expecting to see? I don't believe it auto-refreshes back to original url or anything.

It does not go back to the home screen. I found I had to close that browser pager and then re-open 198.168.1.254:8000 to see the new changes.

I contacted 50btc support and they weren't able to help either. It seems to me like some kind of glitch with the pool. I wasn't even able to get a stratum connection using the proxy client to 50btc. I have a cgminer session running through 50btc which works fine... So my guess, there's something non-standard about the pool that only smart programs like cgminer can deal with. It seems like the only way you might make this happen is using BFGMiner as a proxy But if anyone can prove me wrong on this I'd love to hear it, because I too would like to move some blades over to them.

(Already overclocked and set at 12V) I have attached some images to explain the PSU. I have tried numerous hardware configurations to get the blade working, but every time I plug in the ASIC the PSU / Fans / etc... turn off. I tried using https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205369.0 & talking on a variety IRC channels. Is my PSU not capable of supplying the needed voltage / wattage / amps to the specified ASIC board?
