0) Introduction
SpondooliesTech's SP35 brings a number of improvements to the already exceptional high density hashing power of the SP35. It utilises 30 of their revised 28nm RockerBox ASICs to increase hashrate up to 5500GH. The same internal layout and case is used in combination with two improved 1600W power supplies. Mounting brackets and two C13-C14 cables are included for those running PDUs and a custom controller is included internally.

1) Powering
SP35s come with 2x Artesyn DS1600SPE-3 server PSUs. This means you can NOT replace them with a conventional PSU should they fail. Both come in a 1U formfactor, are rated for 1600W and are 92%+ efficient. SP35s are not suitable for use at less than 210V and have C14 inputs.

2) Cooling
Four 80mm fans are used in a negative pressure tunnel arrangement in order to exhaust hot air and replace it with cool, fresh air in one sweep. The topside of the chips are cooled by custom aluminium finned heatsinks, individually fastened through the PCBs.
Noise levels at ~4.2TH or lower are exceptional for the size of the machine and the hash rate density employed. The units fans are acceptably loud up to about 60% before they become troublesome for home use. Above 4.2TH, the PSUs' fans begin to ramp up to their maximum RPM more and more often, which creates noise far exceeding that of the unit itself. Additionally, the noise is very high pitched and pierces walls and floors due to the small size of the 40mm fans.
Its a testament to the quality of the design that when using the unit at these reduced speeds that it is quieter and significantly less annoying than an under-clocked SP20 and is virtually inaudible next to an AntMiner S4.

3) Case
The SP35's case is 2U thick (88.9mm) and is designed to be rack-mountable in a 19" wide rack (482.6mm), or stacked. Mounting ears are included and come screwed in from the factory. The design time spent on the case gives it a unique feeling in the industry, as if the first version was made 10 years ago and revised over time.
The shipped weight of a SP35 is 19.8kg and dimensions of the shipping box are 730 x 565 x 165mm. An unpacked SP35 weights 15.8kg and dimensions of the case are 560 x 440 x 90mm.

4) Configuration
Configuration is extremely simple due to the on-board controller and web interface.
Wiring:
Software:
Configuration is extremely simple due to the on-board controller and web interface.
Wiring:
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the SP35 to your router.
- Plug in two power cables from the mains to your PSUs. The unit will auto turn on.
Software:
- Login using "admin" as the username and password.
- Navigate to "Pools", enter miner information in the below format and click save.
- Navigate to "Settings" and change clock mode as desired. Use basic voltage settings unless you know what you are doing.

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 cut, especially around any internal casing or heatsinks.
If you are unsure of what to do, STOP and consult an expert.
