Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs

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?

this one;
https://www.andovercg.com/store/Dell-C109D-A2360P-00-PowerEdge-M1000e-2360W-Power-Supply-p5421.html

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.

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.
