Title: Antminer S17 Pro blinking red fault light
Post by: tjwebb on November 19, 2019, 01:34:03 AM
New Antminer S17 Pro arrived today and plugged it in. It boots up, I can access the web UI, I set my pool, and I set it to "Low Power" mode for testing. After hitting apply, the fans spin up -- similar to the S9 -- and I'm expecting to start hashing about 30 seconds later. Instead, after about 60-70 seconds, the red "Fault" light on the machine starts blinking. Fans keep spinning, web UI still works fine, but it's not hashing. I've verified that it has an internet connection using the network diagnostics tool in the Antminer Web UI. And the pool isn't down because I have other S9s hashing on it right now.

If I put it in "sleep mode", the fault light turns off -- although it still isn't hashing. Trying to set it to Low or Normal power mode causes the blinking again about 60-70 seconds.

I captured the entire kernel log here: https://gist.github.com/tjwebb/8f75822baf28f346110ffca359790364. I don't see any obvious failures there, but any insight is appreciated.

Try to reset the miner to refresh the miner's program then set up it again make sure the pool URL has no extra spaces.

If you don't know how to reset it you can follow these steps below.

- Hold the IP reporter button for 15 seconds then release
If the IP reporter button doesn't work try the reset button there is a small hole near the ethernet so you need a pin or any small stick to push the reset button.

If the above doesn't work try to set the miner to static IP and add DNS and try again.

If all methods above don't work you need to flash the miner with the latest version.

How long have you actually left the miner on ? also did you set your pool settings ? new miners come without unconfirmed as far as the pool settings are concerned, unlike old batches where Bitmain has their worker details pre-set  , so set the pool correctly and leave it run for 30-60 mins and update here, my T17 took forever to start mining, once you get used to S9 , everything else seems faulty at first, so allow more time.

Latest bitcoin Antminers are bad quality. Ill have same problems , kernel log shows it has initialized fine but doesnt mine and then reboots after while. It is most likely one of your hashing boards died. At least i disconected one and it was working fine after. Sick of these asic miners, installed 5 of them in my mining farm 3 of them have issues after 2 weeks.
