[Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

[pjviitas]

My two latest Antminers arrived this evening, and I crapped myself a little bit when the fans didn't spin up automatically on power-up.

Seems the latest batches wait for a certain temperature before spinning up.

They have always been like that...its in the setup instructions.

Did you make sure all the ribbon cables are connected tightly?

Yeah ribbon cables are good.

I'm thinking I might try reversing the thing tonight, i.e. power the system board from the other blade, and shift the fan to the other side and see what happens.

Can't think of anything else.  I guess maybe try and flash the firmware?, factory reset didn't do anything though...

 Very strange that I haven't noticed that behavior in my prior Ant's. *shrugs*

    pool =  stratum.btcguild.com:3333

Just an update, it's started hashing now but it's fan is still on max, 4200 constant and a constant 35 Celsius, ha.

Would be nice to get the fan to shutup a bit.

Has anyone else had a fan that's constantly maxed out? (non overclocked)

Are you mining at eligius? I had the same problem and tried everything, but the xx just kept showing until I changed the pool. Running 20 hours + now, still no xx.

hey i have PSU Antec VP500PC
it has 408[W] on 12v but on 2 rails 21A and 24A, is it ok for antminer?
or does it have to be on single rail?

[moesab]

Hello,

Just wondering.. how many antminers would I be able to attach to a Dell 930W Server PSU? (230V)

Don't mine at 50BTC, they say they got hacked last year.
They still own miners a lot BTC, which they aren't going to pay.

getting really pissed off I can get this to mine.

okay I got access to the programming and I named the miner.   so this lets me access the miner on any of my pc's and mac mini's in my home.

IPv4 address                  192.168.0.111
IPv4 netmask                  255.255.255.0
IPv4 gateway                  192.168.0.1
IPv4 broadcast                    'blank'
Use custom Servers         192.168.0.1

[philipma1957]

So even though I can log onto the miner on 3 mac minis 4 pc's and a laptop. a total of 8 different computers. I can't seem to get it connect to and mining at btcguild.

my miner shows no hash

Try 8.8.8.8 for your custom dns server

okay the 192.168.0.1 for the gateway is my router so I will switch the custom server away from that to 8.8.8.8

Also, what is your router ip address?  That should go into IPv4 gateway.  My ipv4 broadcast is number higher than the ipv4 gateway

In your case 192.168.0.2

[philipma1957]

I have a dl link the address is 192.168.0.1

[Darthswan]

I have a dl link the address is 192.168.0.1

okay

try 192.168.0.255 for the ipv4 broadcast
