0) Introduction

The New RockMiner R-Box replaces the older version, increasing the hash rate three times over. 12 ASICMiner BE200 chips are housed on a single board within the case, which is cooled with two 80mm fans. A mini usb to usb cable along with a stripped PCI-E cable is included in the package when purchased directly from Rockminer. Cables included will depend on your reseller.

1) Powering
R-Boxes do not come with a power supply, and you will need a typical computer PSU with 1xPCI-E 6 pin power connectors. We also need to tell the PSU to always be on, as there isn't a motherboard to do this. Cut a paperclip into a U and insert it into the green wire and either black wire to the side of the green wire. Tape it up for safety. The power supply will now be controlled by its switch on the rear socket.

2) Cooling
The New R-Box is self sufficient in cooling terms and utilises both front and rear aluminium heatsinks. Two 72mm fans on the case intake and exhaust the air to keep the unit cool.

3) Case
The case is lightweight aluminium and fully encompasses the miner. Units are only stackable when mounted on their sides due to the interference of the PCI-E wires. Each miner measures 78 x 172 x 190mm, and weighs weighs 2.6kg when packaged.

4) Configuration
R-Boxes can be run using CGMiner. A Windows based PC is recommended although a similar process can be applied on a Raspberry Pi.

Wiring:
  1. Plug in a PCI-E connector to the R-Box.
  2. Plug in a mini USB to USB cable from the R-Box to your computer.

Configuration:
  1. Download the latest version of Custom Rockminer CGMiner.
  2. Extract, and run the zadig application.
  3. "Select CP21202 USB to UART Bridge Controller" and then click "Replace Driver". You only have to do this once per computer.
  4. Right click the file "start.bat" and click "Edit". Enter your pool information as below
  5. Run the bat file to start mining.​
