Any idea what brand and model of the power supply in the backplane picture?

Any idea what brand and model of the power supply in the backplane picture?

Its in the OP. 

While the back-plane is compatible with any normal PSUs with its cable-based connector, it also offers a slot for a certain brand of widely available PSUs (Part Number: HP DPS 800GBA or ATSN 7001044-Y000).

I guess it can be considered better to lose BTC now than lose it later ...
But I'm not sure how

Kano for sure hit the nail on the head there...

These new Blades - they support LP/work restart? So they can work with p2pool?

The old ones work with p2pool, so why wouldn't the new ones?  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283458.msg3077867#msg3077867
Seems the new ones are effectively no real difference to the old ones ... except limited to a lower speed ... i.e. still only GetWork

I would almost rather have the old blades then, I do like the backplane on the new ones though!

has the mining software been updated so that the blades know how to handle work other than diff1? with the old blades you have to append a '+1' to the end of the username on the blade web interface which forces p2pool to always give the blade diff1 work and stops all the p2pool console warning/errors barking about worker submitting share > target.

has there been any changes to the web interface at all? (options for when installed via back plane, etc)

Have you not listened to the shills???  You have it IN HAND!!!  Who cares if it is overpriced if you can use it now???

The backplane seems to have a HP/COMPAQ DPS-800GB, an 850W supply, powering 10 Blades.  So, 85 watt/Blade? 85w/12vdc=7.0amps  7.0amps per Blade?

I have a Blade arriving soon and am putting together what I need.  Does the board have the 4pin 12vdc female or, besides the fingers to be powered from the backplane, only the green screw-down connector?  Because if no female 4 pin 12vdc connector I'll rip down an old motherboard to fabricate a interconnect from its main connector so as not to damage the supply's 4 pin 12 vdc connector.

Okay then, have already harvested the center 4 pins from a mb connector.  Have the pwr supply 4 pin connector from a trashed supply.  Will replace the thin wires with that from a 6 foot white extension cord (easy to mark the 12vdc with red magic marker) and solder directly to the 12dc and ground in the power supply in effect adding an additional 4 pin 12vdc out.  Using the same gauge extension cord will put the harvested center 4 pins orienting clip to the green connector as I've miswired to those green connectors in projects before.  Now to figure cooling.  I like the PCB rack I saw in a post somewhere.  Until the 120mm fans I've ordered arrive I can whip up a PCB stand for the single Blade and cool with a room fan.

Ill answer that for you:

So how bout them blades?  Ethernet is handy in it's own right, but USB would be nice so I could just throw it on my pi...

Will the interface be the same?   Native stratum support?   Why remove the overclock?


Are more pictures/information available for power connections and backplanes?

Will the backplanes be sold seperately?

Ill answer that for you:

We are glad to introduce our new model of Block Erupter Blades to the market. The hashing unit, the power module, and the ethernet controller are now integrated into one board, resulting in a more compact design with higher computation density.

Besides the original power connector, the plug-able gold fingers are added to the blade. The blades are also complemented with a back-plane for them to fit in (10 in 1). It makes deployment easier and quicker.

While the back-plane is compatible with any normal PSUs with its cable-based connector, it also offers a slot for a certain brand of widely available PSUs (Part Number: HP DPS 800GBA or ATSN 7001044-Y000).

Spec: 10GHhash/s guaranteed.
         Rated speed 10.752GHash/s.
         200mm x 160mm in size.

Notes:
1. Please make sure that the polarity of PSUs matches the polarity on the backplane. If you are connecting the blades to the PSU without backplane, please also make sure that the polarity matches each other.

I see the question partially answered.  My first Blade should arrive tomorrow.  I have stratum-mining-proxy set up on a local network machine but I'd rather reduce bandwidth by having the stratum-mining-proxy installed on the Blade itself.  I take it the Blade is running a linux distribution?  Which may I ask?  Can stratum-mining-proxy be install on the Blade using git?

Doesn't work like that. 

That's like trying to install stratum-proxy on your TV....it probably runs linux, so it must work, right? 

[soy]

Is that no because the linux is for an arm processor?  Or that the resources onboard are only sufficient for the specific mining task?

Maybe the way to go would be with a hacked Linksys router; it having linux installed then stratum-mining-proxy installed and dedicated to the Blade(s).

If limited resources and not expandable, then that might be for any number of reasons.  One might be to prevent something like a cgminer installation as that would show each and every ASIC.  If one were running poorly it might not really show in the overall stats but if one were running cgminer and looking at the stats of each ASIC it would be clear.

the linux if it is that is most likely in ROM and unmodifiable.

He sold items with the terms that future upgrades would be included. He is still yet to honour that promise, while putting new money customers first.

When will he send out the new blades to batch 1-3 auction winners

Why not put a usb on the back-plane? I was excited to hear there was a usb port on the boards and bummed to find out there isn't.

That is totally stupid. This is a standalone unit. Why would  anyone be stupid and wish it to be not a stand alone unit?
