Dogie's comprehensive setup guide now up in super HD!
Thanks for this. Very helpful!
I was wondering why my PSUs did not turn on. Wasn't aware of the need to jumper it. I guess I missed that if it was covered in this thread.
Now if my batch 3 units would just ship...
If you are usa based here is a good item on ebay

I purchased about ten of them from him.

I would say a scathing insult about using paperclips. But it is your gear and your money.
I won't use paper clips.
I won't use server psu's.
same reason for either of the above. shock/short hazard.
I sale my gear used and tested on ebay or to local miners.
So I don't sell gear that has short/shock hazards.
Oh the scathing insult is don't be "stupid cheap" or better known as : "pennywise pound foolish" and those paperclips would fit that bill. as would the server psu's in any home with kids or pets.
I think there is a slight misunderstanding here:
1) Phil resells some fraction of his stuff, so he uses something that has a veneer of being CE, UL compliant because he will sell to noobs. There is no need to dump on his method.
2) The paper clip shorting plug solution is functionally ok. With a pair of wire cutters you can get 2 - 4 "shorting plugs". If you are worried about shorting something out, cut a 1" length of electrical tape and cover or if you want to go broadway, couldn't you urethane coat the exposed part.
I'm a paperclip person because it's fast, reliable and cheap for me.
Number 1) is why I don't use paperclips. It is also why I don't use the server psu's.

If I mined my gear exclusively until it died I would use paperclips.
I still would not use the server psu with a breakout board. A simple explanation for me I max at 8 to 10 s-1's or s-3's.
Evga 1300 watt, seasonic 1000 watt plat seasonic 750 watt plat all have really long warranties.
I have been mining for 28-30 months. They pay off in under a year as they all use less power then the server psu's.
If the mining game fully dies I will use the psu's in pc builds
I have had the seasonic plats for a while started using them with my gpus. they are paid off in power savings. The evga won't pay off for about 5 more months.
I have found that if you roll up the foil wrapper from a piece of gum that works best. And it's cheaper than a paper clip!!
