GD Supplies field notes / Equipment planning

Plan the room, not just the miner
ASIC selection and site planning are linked. Before buying, use a simple worksheet: electricity, heat rejection, noise, network connectivity and access. Record the known limits, then ask a qualified installer about anything uncertain.
Electricity: voltage is only the start
Record voltage, phase, circuit capacity and connector requirements. Industrial air-cooled ASICs frequently need higher-voltage dedicated circuits, while hydro or immersion models may require three-phase service. Check the exact configuration rather than relying on a family name.
A broad input range on a model such as Avalon Q does not remove the need for a continuous-load assessment. Have a licensed electrician review the installation.
Heat: every watt needs somewhere to go
Almost all input power ends up as heat at the site. Air-cooled equipment needs a path for intake and exhaust without recirculating hot air. Hydro equipment needs a compatible loop and external heat rejection. Immersion systems need suitable fluid, tanks and circulation.
Include ambient summer conditions in the plan. A room that works on a cool day may behave very differently with a full fleet during a heat wave.
Noise: choose the location realistically
Many industrial miners operate around the mid-70 dB range according to listed ratings. Sound can carry through walls and ventilation openings. Think about neighbours, work areas and local requirements before deciding on a location.
Network and access: small details, real consequences
Plan a stable network connection, monitoring access and a way to service the equipment safely. Power cycling and network recovery should not depend on improvisation. Ask an installer to review protection, shutdown and access arrangements.
Bring the worksheet to the quote
Include your voltage and phase, cooling approach, installation location constraints and preferred model. Unanswered site questions are worth resolving before an equipment commitment.
Discuss the requirements with GD Supplies. Our equipment figures are a reference for planning, not a substitute for site engineering.
Specifications are catalog ratings and should be checked for the exact configuration. These notes do not promise mining income, equipment availability or a delivery date.
