What's going on with my new S9i? (part 2) + (update)

Sorry I deleted the post by mistake, so here is the original video.. https://youtu.be/XllSw4WAcq4 - I will also post a helpful response from /u/felunk at the bottom.

I realized I screwed up and should have gone 220 from the start. Which now I am doing. So here is a new question. I tried powering only two hash boards and now this is what happens. "I tried running the S9i on two hash boards only and it's starts up. However after about 3 minutes the red fault light comes on, the fans ramp down, and then after a minute it starts this cycle again." Could this be a problem with the miner or just low power?

**So much wrong here it's scary. #1 look up 80% rule concerning electrical capacity. If you are on a 15amp circuit which i will assume, plug the two power supplies into separate circuits to reduce the load, keep it <1300Watts max per 110v/15amp circuit. #2 Those are 750watts psu's correct? Never ever run PSU's that close to 100%, again look up 80% rule for anything power related! Get at least one 1200watt psu, better to get two and get the total power through each 80% rated output. 750Watts should run no more than 600W and 1200Watts @<975W. A watt meter is your friend in figuring this out. Also note power usage is not static you'll get fluctuations which is likely happening here when your psu's top out over it's rate max output on 110v. If you have a 220v dryer outlet you might be able to make this hardware work as a server psu can output more power on 220, you'll need the right power cables of course and a splitter assuming a single dryer outlet. You can pick up 200v+/1200watt 110v/1000watt rated server psu's for <$20 on ebay **
