Time to answer some questions!

Can you try to run it with two PCIe connectors per board? It would be interesting to see if it needs all three.

The miner won't operate with two PCI-e connectors per board, according to Bitmain. See this image: https://i.imgur.com/OV3f8Ql.jpg - Read point #1

Thanks in advance for the sneak peek!

Can you confirm that the controller has 9 18-pin jacks, the same as the S5+? There are a number of us interested in trying to control multiple S7s from a single S7 controller.

I assume that it's the same controller, given the pictures from Bitmain. But it would be nice to have actual confirmation from someone with an S7 in hand.

Also, how long are the controller ribbon cables? Any chance that they would reach to an adjacent S7 next to a center unit?

Note that there's there's already a separate thread around obtaining extra or longer ribbon cables:

Confirming that the controller has 9x 18 pin connectors. See this image: https://i.imgur.com/JzUJsN9.jpg (just zoom into the connector area, the image is pretty high resolutions so you can count all nine)

As for the ribbon cables, they look fairly short. I don't think you'd be able to reach an adjacent S7 with the included cables. But I'm sure some longer ribbon cables would be able to reach the controller from a foot or two away.

How is your power setup for the G1600 on the S7 each blade on its own 12v rail ? (For others reading this the lepa has 6 12v rails which makes this a little tricky set up)

I mentioned my power configuration before:

I'm using the GPU/CPU/RAM rails on the LEPA to power the unit. I have four PCI-e connections on rail 12V5 (three connectors powering hashing boards and one powering the controller) and two connections on each of 12V3,12V4 and 12V6. So in total there are 10 PCI-e connectors on the miner and that's how I split them up.

I took a video of the unit as well, just going to render it and upload it now. Should be up in less than an hour! (Slow internet ftw!)

Some images I took of the miner for those interested:

hi..can be take a nice picture on your antminer 9 x 6pin conncetor with ur config cable to psu ?
because i plan using enermax 1500w psu and the plug out cable , each cable is have 2 x 6pin , the cable can be separate to another hashboard?
