one of my psu on SP30 was dead, so I placed a new psu


If I fireup both psu's (the org one that still works and the new one I have soldered) machine just start working and mining using all the ASIC's.

If I use only the org psu (either top or bottom position) the machine works only 50% wich is normaal.

BUT: if I only fireup the new psu the unit wont work.... the led on the controlboard dont show up.

My best gues is that the controlboard somewho dont see the second psu that I have add to it.

any idea? probably it doenst get any power as I have directly put the new psu to the hashing board.

This was to be expected, there are a lot of control lines coming out of the PSU, voltage, temperature, fan RMP, etc.
Since the controller is not getting any feedback it does not know that the PSU is there.
What you should do is to replace it with an identical PSU. If you can't get one from SP then try eBay. This PSU is a very common type.

Generic PSU will only work if you set 'generic psu'  flag in /etc/mg_generic_psu.  We had insisted on some bug fixes to the stock emerson fw. Without it you must use it as generic.  Ask on forum from people who did it.

I have edit /etc/mg_generic_psu to;
0:1 1:1

so he should see both psu's as generic

but still if I only hookup my own generic psu it doenst go live.... any other suggestion?

What PSU did you buy?

But it doenst matter what psu it is, it just 12V that you put directly on the board...
It has to be something that need to be short on the controlboard, it not something in the software as the conrolboard dont go lightup.

I am having some issues with my SP20 and hoping someone can help me out. I know it is a networking issue, but only my SP20 doesn't want to cooperate so I am posting here. So here it goes. I have had a Netgear JFS516 Switch set up in a closet space running 1 SP20 and 2 Ant S3's which is connected to my D-Link wifi router without any issues. I recently added a Netgear FS524 Switch which is fed from the same router into a different closet space. The SP20 now refuses to run, while the ants are still happy working away. There is no IP conflict from the newly added hardware connect to the new switch.

Things I have tried:
Disconnect the newly added switch then restart the old one.
Connect the SP20 to the newly added switch.
Connect the SP20 directly to the D-Link router.
(in all situations I get 6 yellow blinks and fan wind ups/downs)

When this first happened I brought the unit home and it refused to work on my home network (at that time there was no LED activity at both locations), did a restore on it, updated firmware and it ran fine all night. Took it back and it still doesn't want to run. Brought it home again tonight and it fired right up. I really don't want to drag this thing home again tomorrow and get that look from my wife which I am sure some of you are familiar with and needs no explanation.

Thanks for reading! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

If you can help me fix this problem, I will have the unit mine for you for 1 week as a thanks. (1.5TH)

Are you configuring the LAN on the SP20 manually or via DHCP?

You may be underestimating the importance of the type of PSU's used and the unit, I am pretty sure that spondoolies will only work with the make and type of PSU's they support. Emerson and another type.

[nokati]

is there any other psu that work and fit having more than 1200 watt? wich psu is in the sp35?
I have the Sp31 but I assume the sp35 psu will work?

Yes they turned avatars back on

Whats up with titan hosting machines? Any one get them back already? They are too quiet about that... Are titan hosting still mine with them?

I think that there is an avatar signature campaign.
I am still not sure that all these signature deals are worth doing.

DHCP.

I'd get it home, configure it manually to an unused IP address with netmask/gateway/dns/etc from the range you use in your closet, save config and power down. Then it when you take it back to the closet it should be fine.

Huh? Avatars and signatures are completely different things. Avatars were disabled for a long time on the forum because there was a hack in the code that was being exploited. They got turned back on again a few weeks ago and we were able to setup avatars again. No biggie. Anyone can do it, got to your profile and then forum profile information, and from there there is a link to set your avatar if you want to.

Not yet, but I'm sure there will be eventually - whether that'll be allowed is another matter.

Don't forget that recently appointed Olivier Janssens - who has been stirring the hornet's nest - is an investor in SP-Tech.  I wouldn't go so far as to say that there shouldn't be any worries and that everything is balanced, but both individuals and companies have some opposing views at least
Edit: Just to clarify - I'm not implying that either company would be exerting pressure on either individual to further any agenda.

I think that you are incorrect. There is apparently an avatar campaign, that's why some folks avatars keep changing.

is there any other psu that work and fit having more than 1200 watt? wich psu is in the sp35?
I have the Sp31 but I assume the sp35 psu will work?

SP31 and SP35 have different PSU's

SP35 uses DS1600
SP30/31 uses DS1200

whats the difference between an SP30 and SP31? I presviously thought it was related to the PSU limitations

[mavericklm]

difference is in the asics and the attributes are changed like this:
sp30 has 2.8kw and 4.4th
sp31 has 3kw and 4.9th
