My friend is selling these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322278920697?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I know he would be happy to accept BTC.

He also has two more that are not yet posted.

Why is he getting rid of brand new equipment?

I added a screenshot of BMminer showing that POV of the problem board:


This is what happens after 1 minute exactly.

To further minimise occurrences of dead boards or controllers.... I highly suspect no corellation but gut feel tells me that rebooting / refreshing the S9s every 2 weeks can help keep these Ants on their toes in addition to underclocking. Anyone?

Looks line one of mine has had a more catastrophic failure.

Looks line one of mine has had a more catastrophic failure.

That always happens for my miners too, during the startup for a short moment.
But they start hashing normally.

Yes I know that, so 4 hours later no change.

SSH'ed into the miner, looking at the logs seems there is a problem with my hosts DNS resolution

Ok, good to know that if that status stays for a longer period it could be caused for example by a DNS resolution problem.

Yep, put the IP of the pool in as a backup and it started right back up.

Any thoughts on this guys?

The default frequency for 13.5Th/s must be something like 625Mhz -ish.
I wonder if the price will be 1583USD/2.616BTC for real like it says on the page.
Release date maybe October 8.

Strange link. No technical characteristics, apart from hashing speed and presumable price.
Blank space where S9 specifications are supposed to be.
is it possible? yes, of course, even probable.

Bitmain does this, adds provisional product pages but not linked from the main Antminer page until they are ready. Remember they did the same thing with the R4.

Socket Connection Failed and if  you see it within 5 minutes, S9 may still be in the booting process.  (Specially within the first 3 minutes)

Longer wait, then you may want to check the pool connection or internet connection or yes DNS possibility.

If your S9 is not hashing, or you think its not hashing, please look for the RED LED near the PCI-E power plug on the Hash PCB and check if the light is on.  If the light is off on all 3 hash PCB, then it is not hashing.  If you see 1 or 2 hash PCB and lights are on, then if you do not see all 3, you may have 1 non-hashing PCB.

but the blinking red lights may come on and off a few times during the boot up sequence. 

Best be please wait for 5 minutes, before checking any hashing Status to be sure!!

P.S  Connection Refused status message indicate its a good sign as highly likely you are not dealing with the dead hardware but something technical in config related issues.

Looks line one of mine has had a more catastrophic failure.
