Title: L3+ startup issue
Post by: ccgllc on April 03, 2018, 11:33:42 PM

Hi all.

I run over a 100 S9s so am somewhat familiar with Bitmains front ends.

Just received my first (4) L3+s. Hooked them up, powered them up (with APW3++s running on 220V), and waited. And waited. And waited some more (now 53 minutes), and all I get is the basic web screen.

S9s can take over 20 minutes during their first boot to scan the cards. Figured the L3+ has 4 cards vs. the S9s 3, so it might take a half hour or so. Now its been substantially longer than that.

Also find it odd that the kernel log is blank on all 4. I can web into them, but otherwise zip.

Any suggestions? Zero experience with these things. Bought them because I had room in my data center, $400 coupons to burn, and a strong curiosity.

Correction: Kernel log was just VERY slow to respond. Looking for errors I found the following repeating in the logs:

Looks like something wrong with Temp maybe , Fans are all conected right ? because if 1 Fan not conected it looks like the miner starts but he dosnt !

maybe try to press the reset button near the Lan conector maybe this helps , !

Found it. Stupid User Error.

S9s all come configured to mine on Antpool, and in fact will do so once powered up until you get around to changing it.

I expected the same behavior from the L3s, and a quick glance showed they had pool definitions. What I didn't notice is that the pool definitions were all invalid. Once I pointed the miner to my chosen pools, they came up quickly.

This was complicated by apparent support by Awesome Miner, which was a bad assumption on my part. AM can monitor them just fine, but apparently can't control them as well as it does S9s.

So just a bit of newbie growing pains.
