Pronunciation
[hash-bawrd]
Analogy
Like a server rack full of blade servers, each blade specialized for hashing instead of general compute.
Definition
A rack‑mounted frame that holds multiple ASIC mining hash boards—circuit boards populated with hash engine chips—forming the core of a mining rig.
Key Points Intro
Key Points
Modularity: Boards can be swapped or upgraded independently.
Cooling design: Heat sinks and fans attached per board.
Power distribution: Integrated voltage regulators for ASIC arrays.
Monitoring: Onboard sensors for temperature and hash rate.
Example
A S19 miner contains multiple hashboards, each delivering 15 TH/s, connected to a control board that coordinates work distribution.
Technical Deep Dive
Hashboards host dozens of ASIC dies wired in parallel to a controller FPGA. The board’s power plane uses DC‑DC converters to supply stable voltage. SPI interfaces report die health and hash counters.
Security Warning
Poor ventilation can cause overheating and hardware failure; monitor thermals and maintain airflow.
Caveat
Boards are proprietary; replacements may be unavailable after product EOL.
