Title: S7 with APW3 miner wont turn on please help a new guy Post by: mtiminer on December 18, 2015, 10:56:58 PM Hi all.
First things first. I am new to this so please keep that in mind this is my first miner ever. I have a new to me S7 with a new APW3 1600W PSU. I plugged all PCIE cables into the hash boards and controller and plugged in my ethernet and powered on the PSU. PSU comes on cause I hear the fan whirling away. Nothing turns on on my S7, no lights no fans no ethernet port light activity. I notice there is a small paper clip hole for factory reset as well as a soft button to the left of the ethernet port and I have been pressing that button like mad. The PSU also has a small green and yellow cable that came jumpered together and a red and black small cable with nothing attached. Do I need to jump the black and green like on a regular PSU? My power is 120V on a 20 amp circuit with isolated ground. http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx127/shockwave2501/IMG_2338.jpg http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx127/shockwave2501/IMG_2337.jpg Any help is very appreciated Thanks MTI Title: Re: S7 with APW3 miner wont turn on please help a new guy Post by: philipma1957 on December 18, 2015, 11:33:52 PM Hi all. you need 220 volts sorry. also you are new so I pulled in the photos for you.

AC(220) > bitmaintech (psu) > provides 12 volts dc to (S-7) Let me provide a link wait a moment https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060439.0 minimum 205 volts on the power cord bro: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060439.msg13048248#msg13048248 Title: Re: S7 with APW3 miner wont turn on please help a new guy Post by: mtiminer on December 19, 2015, 12:07:23 AM thank you very much for the links. I looked at the side of the PSU and say the Input voltage was 200 VAC as well. I completely overloooked this. I guess Ill be selling it soon then. I have one more question of ignorance to ask. If I got an EVGA supernova 1600 could I power this miner off 120?
thanks A Title: Re: S7 with APW3 miner wont turn on please help a new guy Post by: philipma1957 on December 19, 2015, 12:58:15 AM thank you very much for the links.

I have used one on one of my s-7's Title: Re: S7 with APW3 miner wont turn on please help a new guy Post by: mtiminer on December 19, 2015, 01:32:08 AM thank you very much for all of your help with this!

Stoves, Dryers, Large window AC units, etc have 240v sockets. You can then buy an adapter AC cable for $30-$40 and use those outlets with Bitmain PSU.

Even looking at getting 240 line just for mining. That EVGA 1600 with the 10 PCIe is pretty darn expensive. And OP already bought all the other gear, so kinda a waste to switch PSU's at this point. Only thing I would caution him on using other outlets is look where it is and how close it is to areas you want quiet. The S7 and that PSU is not quiet at all. So before he does something else, he should be aware there can be a lot of sound from it running.

I have done a lot of sound proofing and i can get an s-7 with a server psu to sound okay. But the evga 1600t2 , 1600p2 , or 1600g2 all are over 300 usd. All work well with a s-7 |
