Hello everyone,
I'm new in mining, I just got a new S9 two days ago from bitmain.
Unfortunately I cannot make the S9 working. I still got the message "Socket connect failed: Connection refused" on the system overview page. I also have nothing on BMIner version champ ( i guess it's normal if he cannot connect)
First I didn't have anything on the hardware version line, so I tried to upgrade the firmware, I also upgrade with the fix and then upgrade again. since then I have Socket connect failed: Connection refused
I tried with another network cable
I have a new APW3 psu from bitmain i don't think it would be the problem.
I tried a reset and also reboot.
I also tried like bit main suggests on their website to disconnect the mother board from the cards but the message socket connect failed was still there, so I don't think that one card could be faulty.
Anybody has any clue that could help me?
I wrote to bitmain, but I guess they need a few days to answer
Any suggestion would be welcome as I start to loose hope in mining.
Thanks
