Overview
The T9 server is Bitmain’s newest version in the T9 server series. It boasts a state-of-the-art BM1387 custommade chip using 16nm technology. All T9 servers are tested and configured prior to shipping to ensure easy set up.
You must provide your own ATX power supply.
1.1 T9 Server Components
The T9 server main components and controller front panel are shown in the
following figure:
1.2 Specifications
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Hash Rate | II. 5+ 5%-rt, s |
Estimated wall outlet power consumption (with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C
ambient
temperature)| 131915+7%
Rated voltage| 1 I. 60’13. 00V
Estimated wall outlet power efficiency (with APW3, 93% efficiency, 25°C
ambient temperature)| 0126,1 G11.7%
Dimensions (L x W x H)| 3501ifin x 1351in x 158imo
Net weight| I. 2kg
Operating ambient temperature| 0 – :Icy 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 T9 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 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 T9 server, ensuring that each hash board is powered by the same PSU.
-
Connect a PSU power cable connector to the T9 PCI-e connector on the controller.
-
Connect the network cable to the ETH port.
-
To power up your T9 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).
