Title: problem with a bitmain power supply (APW3-12-1600-B2) Post by: pupok on March 14, 2017, 04:05:39 AM hello, before i made my S9 purchase i bought some S7 just to test everything and start learning
the s7 came with a APW3-12-1600-B2 power supply the thing is its acting weird it does turn on and it does power on the antminer, but the antminer suddenly restart after , i know its the power supply because i tried other Psu with the antminer and its working perfectly my question is is there something i can do to try to fix it?

You said you used anther psu what was it? I assume you have 240volts. The s-7 uses less power then the s-9 Maybe the psu is short power. What psu does work for you?

Since I take it you do not even have a voltmeter to verify what the voltage out of the PSU is the following must be said: Unless you work with building/repairing power electronics and know what you are doing DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF!! Lethal voltages are present along with possible serious arc-flash hazard. |
