0) Introduction
XBTec is jumping straight in at the deep end with a large 1.25TH unit of ASICMiner's generation 3 chips across 9 blades. Each blade plugs into a backpane motherboard and sits upright within a 4 U chassis. A Raspberry Pi is included internally as the controller. This is the V1 Pacific 1250, and a V2 is due very soon with a number of improvements built in.

1) Powering
Pacific 1250s come with a custom made 1600W PSU in an unusual formfactor, although they can be replaced with an external PSU. You will require 5 PCI-E cables and a micro USB power cable for the included Raspberry Pi.

2) Cooling
Three 120mm Fan-Cooling FD12038BD1 fans are used to drive air through the unit, and are manually controlled at two speed settings. Three red switches at the back of the unit bump the fan speeds from 50% to 100% for high ambient applications. The rear of each module features a full cover, aluminium heatsink.
Noise levels are extremely reasonable at 50%, while 100% fans are loud. It should be noted that no consumer should ever need the 100% mode as it is designed for farm use only.

3) Case
The Pacific 1250's case is extremely thick steel and almost impervious to damage, although at the same time is very heavy. The case is designed to be rack mountable in a 19" wide rack (482.6mm), or stacked vertically. External dimensions of the case are 550 x 430 x 176mm.
