Hi Everyone,

I am setting up a 50TH S1 Farm

Those of you with experience on setting up larger S1 FARMS, are there anything I should be aware of?

I read that you can use server power supplies as they are cheaper, but it looks like there's quite a bit of work behind setting up the PSU for 278 machines.

What would be the most cost efficient PSU setup? What type of networking Issues should I be aware of? What is the most efficient set up? How would you deal with airflow and heat?

What is the best type of RACK to set up on?

I look forward to all your experiences, creative solutions, and help.

First you be careful with heat from ants. You can make a tower with the ants and create a wind tunnel effect to easily exhaust the heat from building you can put a big fan.

In the electric problem each ant eat 360w from the wall so if you put 278 miners you need a 100Kw line in 220v.. You needs many main switches for isolate electric problems. Dell server power supply make extreme noise. Really EXTREME. Consider hp 1000W server power supply have less noise and it's more easily for hack and make the wire connections...

For 278 ants you possibly have to pay a bill near to 5000USD / month.. nice

Additional you need control the humidity of the air and playing with this you can increase the refrigeration of the facility.

For the network you need a gigabit main router you need a gigabit enterprise router o business router. And many 48th lines 100mb switches with less than 1 gigabit line to connect with the main router. And can use a watchdog for reset automatically every ant when this stop mining for any reason.

Happy mining!
