I can't find any current information on how to plug the new style Blades into a standard PSU.  My order from Canary for 2 Blades just arrived today and all of the old how-to instructions only apply to the old design with different power connectors.  Was I suppose to get some kind of adapter?

I have a backplane coming from a different source.  Hopefully that will make it easier.  I'd rather not be fashioning my own connectors.  Frankly, that's just ridiculous.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I did just that this morning only to find I had overlooked the connector in the padded envelop as it was outside the brown box.  Still using the fabricated connector made from two smaller drive connectors cut down from 4 to 3.  Still slinging the accepted shares back to the pool as it has all day.  Love it.

The provided connector takes stripped wires.  One fashions the opposite gender of hard drive plugs from power splitters and drives the Blade from two drive plugs.  One also needs to jump the ATX motherboard plug green wire to a black wire or use an ATX power supply checker to get the supply to wakeup.  Not sure about quality server supplies from old servers as I tried one today, jumped what appeared to be the green wire to a ground and it didn't work.  Tried a supply checker and it seemed to show it was bad only showing +5VDC.  I put the supply back in the server and mashed the off/on button and it woke up properly.  So, the server supplies may be different.  

So, yes, the server supply seems different, not responding to the paperclip trick or the tester.  What I did do was to leave the switching supply in the server connected to the motherboard (dual XEONs) and ran the leads to the Blade and applied power.  The Blade woke up and according to my mining_proxy page is pumping out accepted shares.  This is not without a problem tho.  I can't access the Blade data input webpage.  I had changed the Blade address to 192.168.1.200 and that address answers pings but will not respond to an http:// request (note pinging .1.254 get's host unreachable).  The measured voltage at the Blade is 11.59V.  I do trust the server supply more than the motor supply which as I said was running hot, dropping wattage across a voltage regulator.  I have a switching supply on order.  Will go with this for now.  Might put another supply in parallel for the time being.

If it weren't pumping out accepted shares so effectively I'd reboot.

All's well, forgot :8000

For those with a backplane, buy the specified HP server-class PSU, it's around ~$60, maybe better if you shop around.
1 power cord to the rig, and a very clean power connection

these usbs will need to be around .13 each soon to be worth messing with

they are already novelty. the difficulty is too high to get anything useful out of them other than a few bit-cents a piece

a year worth of mining with starting at 10 and adding a new one as soon as you get enough coin only gives you an addition 7 units and  .08 btc in your hands calculated reference

then you are left with 17 usb sticks that cant really do anything.
this calculation of course is an estimation and assumes 30% increases each time and does not factor in hub costs.

its getting harder to mine while not losing USD. better save your power and just invest in coins not miners.

interesting...in china still shortage for the product

So is friedcat already working on a next generation chip or is he out of the game?

your calc reference is not good.  1 year of 30 % each adjustment will never happen. just not possible.  basically that is about 1.3 to the 32nd power silly to think that is what will happen.
