If it was running without cooling and you unplugged it while very hot, that can cause damage to the ASICs.

Just noticed this interesting tidbit.
I'm using fans to keep them at a 'warm' level, can you elaborate on why unplugging while hot can damage the ASICs? Is it due to the sudden mechanical movement or something related to removing the electrical charge & temperature?
Cheers

When I have to pulls sticks, I terminate the process running them, then let them sit in the hub for about 30 seconds with the fan still blowing.
This gives everything a chance to cool before you jostle and bump it.

Just received 2 new 2pacs, put in 60watt anker hub, cooling fan on, but after a short while the 2pacs go "OFF". What is this?

I just got 2Pacs in, as well. One zombies after a few hours, with no HW errors. Another throws >than 1 error/second. To make them work like the rest of the slaves, I have to tune them.
(The one that has the error issues? I'm using it as a test mule for hardware development later.)
