0) Introduction
The Hammer ASIC is designed by SpondooliesTech (ST) and manufactured by TMSC in Israel. The SP10 contains 192 Hammer ASICs arranged into two large hashing boards. Hash rates vary between 1.4 and 1.5TH depending on ambient temperature, and power consumption between 1.1 and 1.3KW from the wall. Each contains a power supply, controller and integrated cooling system - all in a 1.25U case. Specifications are as follows:

1) Powering
SP10s come with a Emerson DS1050 server PSU with a 34 pin output. This means you can NOT replace it with a conventional PSU. It features:

2) Cooling
ASIC cooling requirements are usually limited to being either "sufficient", and/or "quiet". This is slightly different in the SP10 due to its thin form factor. Temperatures inside the unit determines hash rate so minimising ASIC temperatures are key to maximising returns. Two full length heatsinks are cooled by 6x40mm YS Tech Xtreme FD0124028EBP 40mm fans. They are powered by the controller board and specifications are below.

A sealed tunnel is serviced by negative pressure currents, which is used to intake, cool the heatsinks and exhaust in one uninterrupted continuous sweep. At stock, the fans run at ~70%, in turbo ~80% and in quiet mode 40%. Noise levels are extortionate at anything but quiet, in part due to the PSU's fan being fixed on at its max RPM. This is an error in the power supply, which is designed to run at up to 50C ambient and so is exceptionally overcooled.
It is noted that the bottom of the case can get quite warm warm, and so side mounting is recommended to increase cooling and prevent damage to any wooden flooring.

3) Case
The SP10's case is 1.25U thick (55mm) and is designed to be rack-mountable in a 19" wide rack (482.6mm), or stacked. The boards were designed with the case in mind and the case was designed with the boards in mind. Harmony ensued. Mining modules are well protected and there is no room for potentially lose components to move during shipping. The unit is sealed against pets (apart from the 40mm PSU fan, for a grill can be added), although noise levels and surface temperatures mean the two should still be kept apart.
Shipped weight of a SP10 is 14kg, dimensions of the shipping box are 660 x 550 x 130mm. External dimensions of the case are 475* x 440 x 54.7mm (+100 for cabling). They are shipped with 6-32 (diameter) 3/8" (thread) screws for 19" racking mounting.

4) Configuration
Configuration is extremely simple (and may get simpler as the software is developed).
Configuration is extremely simple (and may get simpler as the software is developed).
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the SP10 to your router.
- Plug in a power cable from the mains to your PSU. The unit will auto turn on.
- Navigate to your router and find the list of devices.
- Using a browser, navigate to the IP assigned to the SP10 by your router.
- Login using "admin" as the username and password.
- Navigate to "Pools", enter miner information as below and click save.
- Navigate to "Settings" and change clock mode as desired.

General Safety Tips
|
Do not touch equipment while powered, exposed electrical contacts may shock.
Fans may cause injury or shatter if material is ingested.
|
|
Sharp edges may be cut, especially around any internal casing or heatsinks.
If you are unsure of what to do, STOP and consult an expert.
