** Power supply unit is not included. Please provide your own ATX power
supply.
1.1 D3 Server Components**
The D3 server main components and controller front panel are shown in the
following figure:
1.2 Specification
| Hash Rate | 17 GH/s±5% |
|---|---|
| Rated voltage | 11.60 ~ 13.00V |
| Frequency | 487M |
Estimated wall outlet power consumption (with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C
ambient temperature)| 970W + 7%
Estimated wall outlet power efficiency (with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C
ambient temperature)| 57mJ/MH + 7%
Dimensions (L x W x H)| 320mm130mm190mm
Net weight without packaging| 4.2kg
Operating ambient temperature| 0 ~ 40°C
**** The server does not contain a DC/DC converter; therefore, higher input voltage will cause higher Mining efficiency.
Connecting the Power Supply
Ten PCI-e connectors are located at the top of the D3 server for connecting the PSU as follows:
- Nine PCI-e connectors for the hash boards. Each hash board has a set of three PCI-e connectors.
- One PCI-e connector located on the controller.
** Each hashboard must be powered by the same PSU on both connectors to
prevent Possible damage and instability.
To connect the power supply:**
- Connect PSU power cable connectors to each of the nine PCI-e connectors on the top of the D3 server , ensuring that each hash board is powered by the samePSU.
- Connect a PSU power cable connector to the D3 server PCI-e connector on the controller.
- Connect the network cable to the ETH port. (WIFI is unavailable for servers)
- To power up your D3 server, connect the PSUs to the power wall outlet.
**** If you are using more than one PSU, power up the PSU connected to the controller AFTER you have powered up the other PSU(s).
