Corsair RM1000 powering 2 Antminers S3

[vortexz]

Hello.I just bought a RM1000 PSU to power 2 antminers S3 but I have no ideea how to set it up.

1.I have many many cables coming with the PSU I don't know which ones to use ???which ones have to go into the PSU and which ones into the S3 ?
can someone give me some examples with screens??

2.In this tutorial https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653.0 it says I need to insert a paper clip into the green and black wires, but all my wires are black, how am i supposed to know where to insert the paperclip

You need 2 pci-e (6 pin) for powering the miner (should be labeled and the only ones that fit)

For starting the psu just count the pins. It's the same as colored ones.

Setting Up the PSU (ATX Computer Power Supply)

Setting up using 8pin hole from the psu with the 8pin pciexpress cable . The cable with one end of 8pin and the other end is 6pin pice.  Get it?

I don't see a 24 PIN cable, the RM1000 only comes with 20 pins connector

Should be 20+4 pin.

I don't see a 24 PIN cable, the RM1000 only comes with 20 pins connector

the first 4 pin is removable from either side look carefully



Just follow photo  from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.0 the pin lock facing you and count from the right side

I've got an RM750 and only the 4 pins on the right side are optional (with the latch on top)

ok, yes, it is 20+4
I have put the paperclip in,now what ? where do i put the cable to start the PSU ?
Sorry for these extremely noob questions, never used a PSU before.

With this PSU you will have to do some counting.  It has a sleek all black cable's.  So no colors, but if you look at picture or another psu you can count as all cables are black.  

As always be careful with electiricity/psu.  Don't count wrong or from wrong side.

If paperclip is in right slots... you just plug it in and it turns on.  If you question if you did it right you can get a switch online.

I do not make any money from him
make an offer for some of them.  I purchased about 1 dozen from him.

 I am anti-paper clip ! This cost more then a paperclip,   but for guys like you it is the correct item to buy.

Here are the connections you need:

2 pci-e connected from the psu (8 pin) to the miner (6 pin). Also make sure you don't put them both on the same board.

1 20pin cable (with a paperclip) plugged into the psu.

Then just plug the psu power cable into the wall outlet and when you flip the switch it should turn on.

Well is she hashing? No?

ok, got the first part, 2 pcie (8 win) into the psu and 6 pin into the miner.



now on the 20+4 cable


I have put the paperclip like this, and have to connect the other part of the cable into the PSU, right ? the other end is 10 PIN + 14 PIN (24 PIN total). I have to put all pins into the PSU ?

[Gogreen]

Yes. Wait I think you got the wrong pinin it?

[vortexz]

Yes. Wait I think you got the wrong pinin it?

why wrong ? I have 3 pins uncovered to the right? the paper clip goes into the 4th and 5th pin,shouldn't that be right ?

You've got it right.



You only need to connect the green pin to a black one.
