Title: Need S5 Help! Please!
Post by: pokeyjones on March 07, 2015, 01:51:49 AM
Hey Gang,

Leased my miners. Went back to change them to my pool and hit save to apply. Everything went as normal, but when I check Miner Status page it has zero data. The page structure and logo etc are there, but it has no values, as if miner was off.

What do? Please help.

Ok!

Topside looking down on the data/fan side. There are three green LEDs on the right side in each miner.

Miner A has 3 LEDS blinking

Miner B has 2 Solid 1 Blinking

clue #1

Miner A has NO blinking green LED on the front of the miner below cat5 entry. I'm assuming the alarm would be sounding if not deactivated. Who's idea was that? Anyway.

Gotta refresh the firmware, I'm hoping. Serious about a reward for any of you lurkers.

first - try with a different browser. you never know...


1) do a full reboot (pull power, turn off psu, give it 5-10 seconds before booting
2) do #1, but hold down the reset switch for a few seconds when the power is off and as you turn power back on
3) do a firmware upgrade/restore

Also try changing some of the settings again, like underclock it and save/apply and wait a couple mins.
Try to change your pool settings again if that doesn't work, save/apply again.

Can you take a screenshot of the control panel?

Powered the PSU and miners. Had different green LED action between the two, looked that up.

Front face plate next to the fan intake guard is one green flashing, if no hashing returns it stops flashing and alarm (if not disabled, i think) sounds.
Looking top down on the miner, just inside next to the fan are 3 bright green LEDs, those should all be flashing,

Figured the miner is running, but is not hashing. Opened window and got more air to them... Miner Status populated for a second telling me what I had just figured out... that miner is too hot!

I have 2 identical machines next to each other. One was overheating while the other was warmer from sitting next to it but otherwise fine. Got the heat down, no brain damage, all 0000000000's. Whew.

Worried that I've got my evga 1300 somehow crossed so that different PSU rails are powering the same hashing board.

little help there? EDIT 2 power cables to the S5 are splitters powering an entire blade. the rest are 1 to 1.

where should i position the splitters?
where should i position 2x 1 to 1 that are going to the same board?

thank thank thank

Try using the PSU from one of the other miners which you know works, on this miner.
I'd put the split cables to the same board also.

2.8 THs below 70 degrees. was a matter of fan / air / dead spot / low pressure.

working on more cooling choices (2nd fan) or well over 3k rpm fans at 140cfm on controllers.

thanks all. it kinda solved itself... so no rewards. unless you feel you need or deserve one... :)
