[PRICE REDUCED] DPS-2000BB 2000W Server PSU Interface Board

[bobsag3]

It's by no means a permanent install and not to code, but for temporary setup (that's been running fine for two months) I ran a 20A breaker, 12/2 wire (line, line, GND) into a 3-gang of standard 5-15R outlets. They're not rated for 240V but everything's working fine and the current from a single PSU shouldn't overload contacts, especially if you operate around the midrange of the output instead of peak (and by "peak" I mean 120% rated that it can actually do). If I'm thinking right, 50 martominions across 14 PSU will draw around 6.5-7A per PSU on a 240V line so basically any consumer socket will work. If you want to go fancy (and probably more reliable) use that guy's PDU, otherwise hit up the Home Depot and make your own for about $20. If you're using 30A circuits though, definitely run at least 10AWG wire.

You'll be looking at drawing around 100A of 240V to feed all those miners. Make sure that's possible with the power service you have available.

As a comparison my home only has 100 amp service from the utility. I'd expect a visit from the police too if you are drawing 100A in your home.

Xcel [I and maybe? nexus99's power provider] actually called us to ask about our power use when we were running 15 ants per apartment this winter, but we also have a bunch of high end cops, but once we told them it was for miners we never heard from them again

More orders shipped out today. We're waiting on some 18" cable parts to come in but the rest of the orders currently pending should ship out on or before Tuesday if everything goes as planned. After that we'll be focusing on moving and getting the shop set up, especially fleshing out the hosting side and getting benches back up.

 Thanks again guys for the input. Here is what I got today. My electrician suggested instead of outlets why not run the cable directly to the connector plug and you can move it as needed. He also had me buy the SJ instead of SO that way it meets code as well. So the 4 30amp circuits should support 16 PSU's if I am reading this right.

 Also, My Main Breaker for the house is a 200 amp service. I have already informed the wife that the oven and dryer will not be used at the same time. I am converting my existing 48 gpu farm into 240v as well and will be moving it to another site. My cointerras will be moving as well. That brings up another point. So long as I connect these psu's to the main board of the cointerras, one could run both machines correct? They pull around 500w per board, but I have a dead board so 3 boards should be fine on one PSU instead of the 4 I have now.

 Please tell me anything you see as a problem to this point. I still haven't figured out the tripplite situation as of yet. Nor the power cords for the PSU's. What gauge is need for those?

 I am thinking these are perfect....

 I have 3 45u racks. Which were bought to accommodate rack mountable gear. Example.. I bought 10 1M5 miners from ltcgear and they were never delivered. I have since traded them in for shares and he pays me weekly for them. Also I bought 2 x3's which would have mounted but now I am going a different direction. I am looking at a way to incorporate the racks to marto miners. Sadly, till I have my hands on them, I cannot make anything.

 Keep it coming guys, your advice is more than appreciated.

 To add to this. We never once had to turn the heater on in the house last year and it got down to 14 degrees. My miners were moved to the house as needed. In fact, in January we had windows open in the daytime to release heat. I of course am talking about GPU's, and intend to do the same this year, or move stacks of marto miners.

 Actually my power consumption has never drawn anyone here. But then again, I bought a portable building and had my electric company come out and asked for a second meter. They told me no. As the building is portable, they would never do it unless I gave them 8k to drop the lines. I am considering making a shop in the back yard (20x40 Metal building on a slab) to meet their needs and get it done here. On the other hand, I have 3 other locations I can play with, one of them having 300 amp service, and my elec is only .08 here. One of the lowest prices in the nation.

Nice. Our new shop has 3-phase 200A and not quite that cheap power, gonna be fun to play with.

hoping that sidehack will sell also server PSU so that one time shipping and a trusted Seller

[sidehack]

I'll be picking up a batch of PSU on Monday. We're looking into the feasibility of selling a full kit, with the PSU, board, 12x36" cables and a pair of 4-wire fans. Worst case, we'll at least have some PSUs available.

[nexus99]

Any idea if these boards will work with the DPS 1600BB PSU? That's the 1800 watt version.

Yup- you can select it from the drop down. 2 options, with PSU and without PSU

[nexus99]

Awesome!

[mstrongbow]

Anyone have an extra board handy? Sadly I cannot afford one yet...don't have a use for one either, I just want to further develop my 3d printed enclosure design for these and without a unit on hand, it's impossible to test fit.

I will gladly supply anyone with a couple enclosures once complete and the entire process should take less than 2 weeks, including shipping in both directions.

Thanks!

Send me a PM. I'd be willing to send you one of mine to test while i'm on vacation if I can get 2 cases out of it? Leaving tomorrow so I'd need to know today.

Just PM'd you my info. Going to up the ante and throw in a couple R-Pi cases and some other 3d printed goodies as well!
Thanks much, you rock!

Just got the board today. Thankfully it's okay but the box looks like it went through hell and back! haha

I will post pics of the box later...trying to locate the battery for my spare laptop right now and will be hopping on the design machine this evening and should have a rough draft ready sometime tonight

See that's hilarious because I actually have PSUs but don't have boards at present. Seems a little backward, but that's the way it goes. As soon as we're done moving, we'll be back to production and should blow through all the remaining preorders and back to standing stock within a few days. Cursed delays! We were supposed to be in a lull right now instead of in the middle of production.
