Phased Fleet Upgrade Framework
Why Three Phases
Most operators cannot pause earnings to swap an entire facility. A three-phase framework spreads capital outlay, lets you test new models beside legacy units, and gives landlords or lenders a predictable timeline.
Phase 1 — Remove the Worst Performers
Target units with efficiency below your tariff break-even, elevated failure rates, or hash-rate loss above 12% from rated spec. Phase 1 typically covers 20–30% of the fleet. Revenue dip is offset by immediate power savings.
Phase 2 — Install Candidate Models
Deploy reviewed replacements in the rows freed by Phase 1. Run them for 30–45 days before scaling. We compare pool logs against the audit baseline to confirm the new units meet the 0.05 TH/s floor under your cooling conditions.
Phase 3 — Complete the Transition
Retire remaining legacy units once Phase 2 models prove stable and resale proceeds from Phase 1 are booked. Phase 3 often aligns with lease renewal or PDU upgrade completion.
Constraints We Map First
Before recommending phase timing, we document:
- Breaker and PDU headroom — Can your panel absorb the next batch without a shutdown?
- Inlet air temperature — Will new units throttle in summer months?
- Lease clauses — Some landlords cap power draw or require notice before hardware changes.
- Cash flow — Resale timing affects when Phase 2 purchases make sense.
Minimum Hash-Rate Threshold
We focus on miners delivering 0.05 TH/s and above per unit at observed — not rated — performance. Units below that threshold after cooling corrections belong in Phase 1 retirement unless used temporarily for testing.
What Happens Next
Request a Phased Fleet Assessment and we produce a report tailored to your rack layout and tariff band. Or start with a Hash-Rate Audit if you need measured data before committing to a full assessment.
