I have 5 S7's and they all seem to working fine, but occasionally one will just stop hashing and become un-reachable on the Network.

When this happens it will have a steady green light.

Could this be caused by my network connection? If so, how can I fix this? It doesn't seem right that a dropout of the network should cause the miner to just stop completely.

My internet is just ADSL and does drop out quite a lot, so I am guessing this has something to do with it - but then why would only 1 miner stop and the others still working?

Any ideas?

Also the beeping is driving me insane. Every time there is a small dropout of my internet they all start beeping.
There is no way to turn it off  in the 'Miner Configuration' as there apparently was on the S5 - which is really weird.

I already tried to glue-gun one of the miner's beeper - which was a real hassle (had to take the whole control board apart) - surely there is a scrypting way to disable it?

Any help on either of these 2 issues would be awesome. Thanks !

the beeping is so that you check for fans and over heating.

as to  why one drops easy and the others don't  

how do they connect?

 are five  cat 6 wires all the same length make model into 1 switch into  your adsl?

if true and wire one is the one attached to your 'bad' s-7    remove wire one one both ends the s-7 end and the switch end.  leave it aside.


take wire two from the second  s-7  just on the s-7 end pull it out and plug into the 'bad' s-7 turn off  the   wire free s-7  number two.



if the 'bad' s-7 now works perfectly  it was not the s-7.

It could be

the wire
 the jack on the switch
or your adsl likes up to four units.

Thanks for the reply...

So are you sure the beeping is ONLY for fans & heat ?
They seem to beep when my internet goes down too.

As for the cables, they are all brand new, same length cat6

Anyway - why would the miner become unreachable over the LAN? It's like it has crashed.

[ i will try what you suggested about switching a cable over after it crashes - but i'll have to wait until it happens again - but it seems more like it has crashed, i'm considering updating the firmware but worried i might mess it up]

i can't believe they removed the option to turn off the beeps from the S5 software ?!!! whY?

I can confirm that beeps are not only for fan/temp issues, have a look at my stats you can see that there is no issue with that, but I can simulate a beep by simply shutting down my router.   I think a beep alarm means something is wrong.   I can possibly help you with this issue if you want to iron-it out.  PM me if you want with a phone number.  Good day, Louis

p.s. would be curious to compare your stats with mine, mostly the HW % values (my two columns follwing _HW)
