Hi all. wow great rig set ups you guys have. I'm still a bit new to mining. and just ordered one of those Blackarrow breakout boards. and i'll have a total of 5 r-boxes monday.
I'm going to be using a Corsair CX 500 watt modular PSU.
and before i go plugging cables into that board i just have a few questions.
1) in order to run the 5 r-boxes, do i plug the 24 pin ATX cable and the 8 pin CPU and one of the 8 pin PCIe cables into the board and then attach my r-box pigtails to thier respective + and - connections on the board ?
2) and if and when i eventually have all 10 r-boxes ( if i can find 5 more over the next couple of months ) do i need to plug the last 8 pin PCIe in for them or will what i have plugged in be enough ?
3) How would i go about plugging my Raspberry Pi Model B+ onto that breakout board? i can't seen to find any pictures of that set up anywhere.
4) i have a Rosewill 7 port USB hub which i'll have to upgrade to a 10 Port when i get all 10 R-boxes. Is there a way to power that off the Breakout board or will that still need to be plugged into a powerstrip ?
any answers to these questions is appreciated. been learning quite a lot from reading these forums. you guys are great
Thanks
plug the 24 pin atx c able
plug both pcie cables
leave the cpu cable out
if I recall you can get 5 volt power out of that but I never bothered to do it.
see photo bottom right just above the on off there is a none wired 3 volt and right above it a 5 volt that is ready for use it has 4 screws on it. 2 pos 2 neg check your wiring very carefully when you hook your gear up.
