Dogie's Miner Setup Guides:Nicely formatted version available at dogiecoin.com!  Contents: 0a) What to Expect0b) What You Need1) Powering2) Cooling3) Case4) Configuration5) Troubleshooting0a) What to Expect (top)SpondooliesTech's SP30 utilises 30 of their latest 28nm RockerBox ASICs to create a hugely powerful 4.5TH unit. Two hashing boards are combined in a dense, 2U case along with 2x1U, 1.2KW power supplies. A custom controller is included internally. | Chips | 30x 28nm SpondooliesTech RockerBox | | Hashrate | ~4500GH | | Rated Voltage | 12V | | Rated Current | 235A | | Power.Consumption | ~2800W |
   0b) What You Need (top)You will need a few accessories to get started. Click your flag to find everything you need to get started at Amazon!       1) Powering (top)SP30s come with either 2x Emerson DS1200 or Murata D1U3CS-1300F-12 server PSUs with 34 pin outputs. This means you can NOT replace them with a conventional PSU. They both come in a 1U formfactor, are rated for 1.2KW and are 90%+ efficient.     2) Cooling (top)Four 80mm fans are used in a negative pressure tunnel arrangement in order to exhaust hot air and replace it with cool, fresh air in one sweep. The topside of the chips are cooled by custom aluminium finned heatsinks, individually fastened through the PCBs. Noise levels are determined solely by the PSUs' fans, which in turn are determined by ambient temperatures and maximum PSU loads. Noise levels at 4TH are noticeably lower than at 4.5TH.   3) Case (top)The SP30's case is 2U thick (88.9mm) and is designed to be rack-mountable in a 19" wide rack (482.6mm), or stacked. Mounting ears are included and come screwed in from the factory. The shipped weight of a SP30 is 16kg, dimensions of the shipping box are 750 x 600 x 160mm. External dimensions of the case are 555 x 440 x 90mm.   4) Configuration (top)Configuration is extremely simple due to the on-board controller and web interface. Wiring: - Plug in an ethernet cable from the SP30 to your router.
- Plug in two power cables from the mains to your PSUs. The unit will auto turn on.
Configuration: - Navigate to your router and find the list of devices.
- Using a browser, navigate to the IP assigned to the SP30 by your router.
- Login using "admin" as the username and password.
- Navigate to "Pools", enter miner information in the below format click save.
- Navigate to "Settings" and change clock mode as desired. Use basic voltage settings unless you know what you are doing.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Nice guide Dogie  How does the noise compare to the sp10 when the sp30 is at 4.5TH? What amp rated power leads would you recommend? |

The noise on the SP30 is purely determined by the PSUs, rather than 'mostly' on the SP10. It is lower and lower pitched even compared to the SP10 in quiet mode. If you're running at 110V you're going to need at least 13A cables. |

It does. However I'm also not sure at what point we scrap beauty and density to get rid of the bottleneck for these chips which is power/heat heat/power. They have so much headroom if we could get them more power, noise levels could be brought down magnitudes if we could use different PSUs and cooling could be increased significantly if we went to 3U. |

All the top models get airbrushed First image is their CAD rendering as mine didn't come out right. New location has different lighting so I've ordered some more lighting to compensate. The only difference is the actual SP30 doesn't use full cover heatsinks and the true color is silvery like the SP10. |

If you were unhappy with the noise from a SP10 is it pretty safe to assume you will still be unhappy with a SP30 in warm ambient temps?

Not necessarily, its close enough that it will very much depend on who you're worried about being unhappy with the noise. It will really come down to your specific situation, and whether you can close doors etc. |

thanks for the guide The power cord you recommend : SF Cable, 10ft 16 AWG Universal Power Cord - IEC320 C13 to NEMA 5-15P SJT 13A
http://www.sfcable.com/P7C16-10.html
this looks like a regular PC power supply power cord , comes standard with my 1300Watt PSUs ? is'nt this only for 110v? what cord would be needed to run this miner off a 200-240 Amp receptable ? would you need a PDU ? |

You'd need a cord that goes from whatever kind of recepticle you have (6-20p L6-20p or L6-30p would be common but not the only options) to C13. However since it has two PSU's, you'd need a splitter, which might be difficult to find with enough amp rating, or you'd need a PDU. |

I was planning on using two separate outlets on different breakers thats not a problem running the numbers honestly running an SP30 at 4.1 TH at 2600WATT actually running the numbers provides a better hash/Watt number than 4.5 TH at 2900WATT, not sure what all the big deal with maxizing the hash ratio to all ends is. Hash/Watt is what matters in the end. |

That is a misconception.
What matters is $/GH and operational costs aka $/GH/m.
Increasing the hashrate lowers $/GH and can lead to a faster ROI, especially if your $/GH/m is low (aka 5ct/kW/h including hosting).

You are wrong here. For the moment you are better running it at full speed and at max unit's W/GH/s. I plan to switch it to 4Th/s at 2.3kW at ~70 bil diff. |

If you already have 2 circuits installed, then just buy the cables with the correct ends, and you should be good to go. Honestly though, even at 3kW, you're not to go over 12-13A @240v, which is perfectly safe on a 20A circuit. Find the plug that matches your recepticles: http://smile.amazon.com/SF-Cable-NEMA-L6-20P-250V/dp/B009ZERV72http://smile.amazon.com/6-20P-Power-Cord-Adapter-Foot/dp/B00H7JR636/This one already has 2xC13, so you'd be good to go. http://smile.amazon.com/L6-30P-C13-Splitter-Power-Cable/dp/B00BGAEBNU/And of course you can easily get C13-C14 extension cables wherever (online...Don't expect to find them at Ace Hardware). Though I would be sure to get those cables rated for 250v & at least 15-20A. As to the W/Hash ratio, that is what matters "in the end" only so much as you are talking end of life of your hardware. As RoadStress said after the difficulty is >70B. Until then, maximize your hash rate as much as you safely can. |
