I bought 3 Antminer s3's along with 3 Corsair CX750 PSU's the other day for $50 and I just set them up tonight.
This is the first time i have set up any kind of mining rig and the standalone sh!t made it pretty easy.
The first thing i did was READ through everyone else's problems so i didn't jack mine up.
Thanks to everyone out there for helping all of us noobs get it right!
Anyways I set all 3 of them up tonight one at a time and they're all up and running 490-520 Gh/s
1. Make sure your router is running 192.168.1.1 not 192.168.0.1
2. Plug in your cords and cables, PSU to s3 and ethernet cable from s3 to a open port on your router or switch
3. Power on the PSU/s3 then cut the cotton end off of a Qtip and use the stick part of the Qtip as a reset tool. If there is a reset button in there you will hit i with this.
4. With the power make sure the 2 green and 1 orange lights are on and use your reset tool to hit the button, hold down on the button until you see the green light above the ethernet cable slowly fade out. Once the green light goes out turn off the PSU and wait 30 seconds.
5. Power everything back up, wait for the 3 blinking lights to cycle and go solid. The red light will take a long time and blink its ass of but wait.
6. Open your browser and go to your routers settings 192.168.1.1 and in you LAN setup you want to find the address reservation section.
In the address reservation section click ADD even though you don't see any devices yet. Once click ADD it will show you a list of devices and the s3 should be there with a ip address of 192.168.1.99 and name of UNKNOWN and maybe a MAC address similar to this C8:EE:A6:02: (all 3 of mine do) Mine i reserved the 1st address of 192.168.1.101 & named it antMiner_1.
7. Open a new tab and go to 192.168.1.99 this will take you to the s3's login page. login and click on network, then click edit WAN, chnage static ip to dchp client, click switch protocol, then click save and apply, then power off your s3, wait 30 sec power it back on, wait for the lights to all blink and go solid.
8. In the address bar type 192.168.1.(whatever address you reserved in the router) my 1st one was 192.168.1.101 hit enter and the s3 login page should come up, login and change whatever junk your going to change and your done.
Repeat those steps for each s3 and you shouldn't have any trouble losing or finding them and before you know it you will have one hot ass noisy room!
