Nearest us - USB, Power, Power & Power. 3 connection options depending on how you intend to power it.
Left side - CAN Bus header connector, and what looks like a cooling fan power connector.

Wow, didnt know that its so featurerich... and all 4! power connectors are for cables that goes horizontal right? The left 3 for sure but im not sure with the right one. But i guess the second right one would be the one to use with a ATX-PSU.
The CAN-Bus is the one that connect the miners together and is connected to a raspi or a notebook at the end to run the miner software?

So, reading that I get that the group buy is over. No further orders being taken. If you ordered chips, then you can get burnin boards, otherwise not. Correct?

As I understand it, only SebastianJu's groupbuy is open on batch 6 currently. But Avalon's chips are "Out of Stock", and since SebastianJu doesn't purchase the chips before hand, batch 6 is at a stand still.

The european groupbuys will, together with zefir, order one or 2 batches once the avalon shop opens again. 24 hours or so after its back. So at the moment one could say that all orders that come in will be ordered at avalon shop at the end.

Putting a heat sink on top will restrict the airflow over the pcb. The pcb has internal copper layers ('ground' is usually designed as a plane) which act as heat spreaders as well.

Do you say the other side of the pcb needs airflow too? I intended to force the airflow from the fans through the heatsinks only to maximize cooling. Do i have to rethink this?

What are these 4 slots? The middle at the end is for power? What about the other 2 at the end and the 2 at the left side?

Offtopic: Its funny how much such pcb's remind me of cities. Streets, flat buildings, oil containers, foundries with chimneys...

I hope that no magic smoke comes up from the "chimneys" Grin
