Re: 10 ASICminer Blade setup with backplane is rebooting every hour.
A guy on IRC Slush's pool said his was resetting every 2 minutes after he placed all 10 on the back plain. After some testing, they were stable with 7 blades. At which point he shared his PSU. I didnt write down the name of what PSU he had but another member recommended this PSU to him:

Thats about as much info as I can give you since i dont own the blades.

That's one of the PSUs I bought to try. So, good!
I can simulate the 2 min interval reboot, which seems to be part of the blade's firmware if it doesn't sense a connection to any pool it reboots after roughly 2 minutes assuming it's "dead/sick."Where it's such a regular interval I have a hard time believing it's lack of power, but it's certainly possible. When I checked the blade's power usage with the kill-o-watt I saw about 650W at full load. I will have to throw it back on and keep an eye on what it does when the unit reboots. I haven't had a chance to catch it in the act yet to see if the PSU has any change in the LED or something like that.
There has to be a reasonable explanation for this, even if it's a hardware problem.
