Why did you start with A1 parameter?
A1 is sha256 miner while A2 is scrypt miner. A2 is for altcoin.

Biggest advice is to check the PSU.  It appears you have one of the painful ones you need to unscrew PSU to see it.  But on PSU it has a 240/120 switch.  Make sure it's on right ones.  I have seen one kill a PSU even on wrong setting.

After that check connections.  And I would get a different SD card and try a different image that you know works.   

If does not work ask more questions to ebayer.    Might even have him remote in with teamviewer to see what is going on.

I don't know what is A2 command set. But the one you put is A1 setting.
Maybe you can post miner & setting page.

The software that Innosilicon used for the A2 is basically the same as they used for the A1. They just forgot to change all instances of A1 to A2, firmware is for A2 and should work.
But as Wolverine5pl stated in a different topic, his blades are working now, were loose resistors due to transport: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=672969.msg11513791#msg11513791
