[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S4+ Setup [HD]

[leowonderful]

I have purchased an s4+ on ebay not knowing that it had special power requirements, is there anywhere that i can get a wiring diagram to help set this up, and were can i purchase the power cord needed to run this high voltage. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks bigdaddy3

You can try to buy a converter for 110 to 220v in some cases (it'll be pretty expensive, best to just find a 220v in your house no matter how much time it takes, will be hard to get if you don't have any), there are 220v outlets in most American houses if you live in America. Just have to find em, most of them are either in the garage or in the kitchen, I.e stove. Please correct me if I am wrong

This cord should work:

About that... If you mean getting a step-up transformer -- beware of ANY sold as 'International voltage converters" such as sold by http://www.world-import.com/transformers.htm

In short, they are woefully over-rated for power. I had 2 of their 2,000w transformers with early s9's (1,450-1500w) on them. Ran very warm which is normal for xmfr's but after 3 months both transformers had failed. I opened them up to find charred windings. Now we know why they are so cheap...

Replaced them with REAL transformers from AutomationDirect for around $189 each (vs $54) and as expected, being industrial units they should last forever.

Yes i do have 220 in my garage, but it is not compatible with the cord that you have listed( 110 3 prong), i have checked lowes website and do not see any outlets and or adapters that will work, Thanks for the help .

Perhaps this then? Should work with this one as the plug is rated for 220v. http://www.sfcable.com/8ft-nema-l6-20p-usa-3-pin-plug-to-c13-sjt-power-cord.html?gdffi=afde19f4670e4f608861514cfe93a30d&gdfms=BF7B35F16DFB4E1BBD775C7026C0A9F2&gclid=CjwKEAiAq8bEBRDuuOuyspf5oyMSJAAcsEyWri_YbgS4_zq6Aqw1bl0LdMxfVIRUDH8LncScsyq9PxoCd_fw_wcB

Ok i have the correct cord and power to the s4+ now but i cant get the ip address by using the ipreporter or by logging onto my modem, javascript:void(0); any ideas as to what could be wrong with the machine or me?
