I'm running a Corsair AX860. It was relatively cheap and it's short enough to fit inside the Avalon.

The red led indicates a +12v supply failure. The 6+2 connectors on some psus have the +2 section wired with +12v and gnd instead of 2 gnds as the sockets on the avalon are using. Plugging in the pcie connectors with this type of +2 section shorts the +12v bus on the psu causing it to go into an over-current shutdown. Just leave the +2 section of the pcie connectors unplugged, plug in the 6 pin sections and you should be good to go.
Thank you for that explanation and idea. Sadly it did not solve my problem. I will go and purchase another PSU, hopefully that might fix the issue. Any suggestions for a brand and model? I am not in the US but i can get most any brand that is common enough. check if no module are dead inside. with my dead module i have exactly same problem when i want start it. @+

Just curious, but has anyone tried underclocking or undervolting a gen 1 Avalon to see how efficiently it can run? It might help extend it's useful life.

I just got 200 gh avalon. I spent last few days learning how to set it up before I will have it so armed with knowledge I went straight to work. I have to say that after 3 hours trying my head is spinning and I am completely lost.
I followed avalon wiki, so I turned on my unit, plugged in ethernet cable, to laptop and then I proceed to change my laptop IP to suggested 192.168.0.101 no hassle so far. Then I opened IE and tried to connect to 192.168.0.100 and nothing happened, my IE says IE cannot display webpage.
I use win7.

Are the link state LEDs on (ie do you have a working ethernet connection)? Can you ping from your laptop the Avalon? If that does not work, no need to go further You can try the 192.168.1.1 network range too in case you've reset the board by holding down the reset button 3 seconds at bootup

You are sure you are not pinging your own IP but the IP of the Avalon, right? You can see the ethernet activity light blink with each packet? And if you pull the plug, it stops working? If it does work, use ssh to log into the machine as root If that works, you can try the web interface

Led on ethernet connector actually is blue and orange is flashing. I am afraid that I have no idea how to use ssh to log into machine as root.

and if you pull the cable it stops working? If 192.168.1.1 works for you, can you try with IE? I am afraid that I have no idea how to use ssh to log into machine as root.
You need to install the ssh utility for Windows like PuTTY and see if you can connect Just use user root and passwd just enter that should give you a shell. Better log out if you have no idea what to do next before you do any damage (although that is difficult with the read-only setup)

I have a customer who's getting the following Cgminer API error on his 230G Avalon2 clone (by CCBMC).
[Firmware Version] => 20131110 cgminer: 176747f cgminer-openwrt-packages: 0e12b1b luci: 346e3e7 Socket connect failed: Connection refused
He has confirmed the following for me:
- using pool stratum.btcguild.com:3333 - configuration page looks good, no typos - API Allow is correctly set to "W:127.0.0.1" - he can ping out to stratum.btcguild.com and IP resolves correctly - "cgminer" process is not currently running when we check Processes tab - he has tried many other pools aside from btcguild with no luck
Any idea what the problem might be? I tested the device before shipping and it was working fine.
Thanks for any help. I have been reading that updating the firmware might help, but I'm not sure where to get the firmware.

I recieved an avalon gen3 I believe as it has the 3255 chips in it and is a black cased unit. I have it running at 150 gh at freq 1000. When I raise the frequency higher it does not seem to like it even though the chips are rated at 1000 to 2000 freq. Is there a certain number multiplier I should be using to come up with the frequency? Also it is a 2 module unit with 40 chips per module and will only show work up to 16 workers even though I see a lot of people here post screenshots of 24 workers. Should I only be using 16 workers? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I managed to move on. Now I can connect to settings page. I went to status --- cgminer configuration and inserted pool/worker/password for 2 of them. When I press save and apply I see action - spinning circle and quote applying changes. That goes on for several minutes: Applying changes /etc/config/cgminer
Last time I waited 10 minutes, still no change so I just went to system --- startup and on line where cgminer is I pressed restart - nothing happened. I tried status---cgminer configuration---save and apply then go to system---startup and start on cgminer line again nothing. Actually when I try restart cgminer it give me "Bad gateway" message.

Make sure your miner is connected to internet first. Try ping from "Diagnostics". There's a NTP bug that prevent it from saving.

can anyone help with the error ava0 reset failed! not an avalon? (0:08 00 00 00)
this is a gen2 avalon connected by usb when the lan board died.
cgminer starts but then cycles through:

Looks normal to me. Look at DH%. HW ~3% is ok.
