Buyer specifications — procurement FAQ

Twelve questions export buyers ask before purchase — dimensions, weight, power, voltage, models, host PC sizing, lead time, packing, warranty, RMA, packing photos, and remote setup. Reference ranges where applicable; final BOM on written quote. · 采购规格说明

12 questions before you issue a PO

Each item links to detailed guides. Final numbers are on your written proforma — request a quote with the checklist below.

  1. 1

    Device dimensions (L × W × H)

    设备尺寸

    Chassis outer dimensions depend on slot count, phone height, and generation — confirmed on written quote and optional datasheet. We do not publish one fixed size for all SKUs.

    • Standard Phone Farm Box: slot layout and rack footprint confirmed before build.
    • Empty chassis / custom cabinet: send board or phone dimensions — mount spacing on datasheet.
    • Export shipping dimensions (carton L×W×H) provided after packing plan is confirmed — useful for freight booking.
    • Request “datasheet with dimensions” on your RFQ if procurement needs sign-off before payment.
  2. 2

    Weight (packed / invoice)

    重量

    Packed weight varies by slot count, phones on BOM, and crated vs carton export. Commercial invoice weight and carton size are confirmed before shipment.

    • Empty chassis orders weigh less than phone-included or turnkey builds.
    • Custom cabinets and multi-box sea freight: weight on proforma for forwarder quotes.
    • Packing photos can include scale reference when requested on RFQ.
    • Air vs sea freight planning: see export shipping guide for $/kg tradeoffs.
  3. 3

    Power consumption

    功耗

    PSU wattage is sized from your BOM — node type, charge state, and workload. Plan with ~8 W per Android node as a starting range; final load note on proforma.

    • Each chassis has a unified AC input; internal distribution to slots and hub.
    • Mirror-heavy farms draw more host-side power; headless motherboard nodes often lower per slot.
    • Room HVAC plus chassis fan kit both matter above ~30°C ambient.
    • Use the Power Consumption Estimator with your target node count before RFQ.
  4. 4

    Voltage & plug standard

    电压

    110 V, 220 V, or 220–240 V regional PSU and plug type confirmed on quote from destination country — not assumed from catalog list price.

    • North America, EU, UK, AU, and SEA plug standards supported when declared on RFQ.
    • PSU module and mains lead matched to proforma — wattage sized from device list.
    • Mixed-voltage rooms (e.g. US gear in EU facility): note on inquiry for adapter vs native PSU.
  5. 5

    Supported phone models

    支持什么手机型号

    Android and iPhone paths are quoted per model list — board footprint, USB/OTG mode, ROM path, and SIM/camera needs. Catalog gallery shows common mounts; not an exclusive-only list.

    • Send target models on RFQ — we confirm slot compatibility and power draw before quote.
    • Catalog gallery includes Samsung S8, S9, Note 8/9/10, S10/S20/S21 FE, OnePlus, Pixel — cluster mix on quote.
    • One phone family per chassis is typical; mixed models may need hybrid wiring on quote.
    • Motherboard / headless nodes: board model list and footprint required.
    • iPhone farms use separate chassis and host tooling — confirmed on iPhone SKU proforma.
  6. 6

    How many boxes can one PC control?

    一台电脑控制多少盒

    Most buyers run 1 control PC per 1–3 standard Android boxes when using screen mirroring; ADB-light workflows may reach 4–6 boxes with PCIe USB controllers. Each box uses one hub uplink to the host.

    • Plan by total mirrored nodes (often 20–40 Android nodes per well-specced PC) as much as box count.
    • One industrial hub tree per box → one dedicated host USB3 uplink; avoid consumer hub daisy-chains.
    • Heavy scripts, live mirror, or iPhone stacks usually need a second PC sooner.
    • Send box count, nodes per box, and software name on RFQ — host sizing note on proforma.
  7. 7

    Lead time & delivery

    交货时间

    In-stock standard chassis: 3–5 business days dispatch after payment. Custom node mix: 7–15 days. iPhone / custom cabinet longer. Air +3–7 days transit; sea 15–30 days.

    • Written quote includes production slot and ship-by window before you pay.
    • Bulk phased ship (chassis sea, devices air) available on project SKUs.
    • Express courier or sea freight per buyer instruction on proforma.
    • Import duties buyer responsibility unless DDP stated on invoice.
  8. 8

    Packing method

    包装方式

    Foam-lined export cartons with shock padding; rack/cabinet orders may use crated freight. Packing list matched to proforma BOM — confirmed before export packing closes.

    • Typical lines: chassis, hub/wiring kit, PSU, cooling, cables, software notes per order terms.
    • Phone-included builds list devices separately on packing list when agreed.
    • Sea freight multi-box: pallet or crate plan on quote.
    • Commercial invoice includes weights for forwarder booking.
  9. 9

    Warranty duration

    质保多久

    Chassis and PSU: typically 12 months against manufacturing defects. Fan kits often 6 months. Phones follow supply terms on invoice. Exact text on your proforma.

    • Misuse, unauthorized mods, and buyer-caused damage excluded.
    • OEM network gear: pass-through supplier terms where applicable.
    • Remote setup: re-training window (e.g. 14 days) when listed on service line.
    • Extended maintenance optional for 24/7 production racks.
  10. 10

    Defects, DOA & returns

    坏了怎么处理

    Report DOA within 48 hours with photos. Manufacturing defects within 7 days of receipt. RMA replacement or parts after inspection — return freight rules on proforma.

    • Shipping damage: photos of carton and product within 48 hours.
    • Spare fan/PSU/cable lines on first bulk order reduce air-freight on single-part RMA.
    • Custom or deployed hardware may require buyer-paid return freight.
    • We do not guarantee platform account outcomes — hardware RMA separate from workflow results.
  11. 11

    Pre-shipment photos

    发货前能不能拍照

    Yes — request on RFQ or quote reply. Carton exterior and foam layout photos provided after packing plan is confirmed, often before shipment for bulk buyers.

    • Contact form includes “packing photo” checkbox.
    • Quote process step 5: assembly, test & packing photos when requested.
    • Packing list sign-off against proforma before export packing closes.
    • Shipping size/weight shared alongside photos for freight approval.
  12. 12

    Remote installation / setup

    能不能远程安装

    Yes — optional remote setup service after delivery. Covers USB/hub wiring, device visibility, and batch-control handoff. Does not include operating your accounts or proxies.

    • Buyer prepares: powered hardware, host PC with admin access, stable internet for screen share.
    • Scope tied to device count and session length on proforma.
    • Pre-ship validation in Guangzhou; remote session usually post-delivery when host PC is ready.
    • Product SKU: Remote Control Setup — add on RFQ or order separately.

Copy into your RFQ
