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

[Darthswan]

Afternoon all,

Just did the big, "you big dummy"  I forgot to change my ip address on my other miner.  So I just knocked off my running miner.  I'm getting those pool errors again.

I forgot the process of fixing this.  I'm going to look back in this thread, but I'm hurting over here.  After I get this fix, I do need to change the Ip address on the running miner, correct?

I believe that you need to set your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 in the web interface.

If you don't know the IP of the machine then just use Advanced IP scanner to find it on your network.

I ended up changing the ip address.  Now I can fire up my new miner.

Is there any consensus on whether it's ok to ignore the "ASIC Status" indicators? Mine started off all "o" yesterday, now today is all "x". Yet hashing continues at same rate on the status screen and at the pool. Using a high end 1000 watt platinum PSU so unlikely there is any power probs. I checked and this antminer has the latest 12/26 firmware.

[Gamer67]

From what I have read it is just a cosmetic issue. If it bugs you just reboot it.

Hi BitMain,

I think I received an defective AntMiner S1, order # 00120140119115357875yd15x6b80688.  This is the second one i ordered last week, 2014-01-19, and received it today, 2014-01-24.  The previous one worked flawlessly.  This second one, tried to set it up the same way I did the last one but no lights come on, nothing. Can NOT even see it on my computer as the RJ-45 port does not work.  The only thing that came on is the fan spinning.  How do i get RMA?  Thanks for your help.

I just checked and now it's back to all "o". Guess that most recent firmware it has didn't fix this as claimed, but yeah it seems cosmetic I guess since pool rate actually went up 5 GH/s on average the past few hours.

Hello Bitmain my order from the morning of the 21st has still not been shipped, please can you tell me if there is a problem with this order. The order number is 00120140121093213377VKSJ12CH061B. I did send an email too but got no reply.

Regards Phill

Has anyone else ordered the same day and still not got shipping information as Im getting worried now as it seems people have ordered after me but have already had theirs shipped?

I ordered mine 1/22 Order: 00120140123052515101jo1MpdUr06D4 also waiting to receive shipping confirmation.

Got my shipping confirmation tonight! Scheduled for 1/27

Check your DNS setting. if it is set to 192.168.1.1 change it to 8.8.8.8

Does anybody knows how to increase fan speed at AntMiner S1?
Miner seems to be quite hot, so I want better cooling.
Installed fan is very powerful (1.2A), but working too slow IMHO, I'd like to give it more blow
Noise is irrelevant for me.

If you remove the blue wire from the fan connector, the fan will spin a full speed all of the time (~3500 rpm). Note that this may shorten the life of the fan, so try it at your own risk.

Well, my first thought was to unplug fan connector from board and put to the fan directly 12V from PSU. But blue wire removing, I guess, would work either )) keeping speed monitoring also
But that's not what I really meant. I was thinking more about some config modifications to adjust PWM values or so.

I added a fan on the back side to suck out more hot air.  It cools nicely.

pics & details, bruh!

When I actually get out of bed, i'll go downstairs and take a picture of it.  The fan is being powered by the power supply.

Hi, one of my antminer have 52C without OC. Is it still safe?

[Darthswan]

I will say these newer machines are a beast.  My first miner has the black/red terminals and the second one has black/yellow terminals.

here are the numbers for them:


                 HW    DiffA        DiffR
Antminer1   1021   1793536   1280      0.0569%   375M
Antminer2   18   1781666   2484      0.0010%   375M

I'm thinking about taking the second one up to 400.

[Darthswan]

thx.. i was hoping ud connected the fan to the spare fan port on the 2nd blade

I remember reading, somewhere, that it was better to hook it up to the psu.   I can't remember where I read it.  I'll get the picture in an hour or 2.  My other miner is on it's way, and i have to go get a psu and an additional fan.  It will be here by 12:00pm, so within the next 4 hours and 50 mins.

It is only better in the sense that the fan will then run at 100% all the time as opposed to being controlled by the unit.

Speaking of fans. You can make the stock fan run at 100% all the time by just removing the blue wire leading from the fan to the connector. Just use a small precision flat head screw driver and push the pin out. I read about that in another thread. Sorry if you already know this.

Lowered my temps a good 5-6 degrees. Great as long as you don't mind the noise.

[Darthswan]

What are you all seeing temperature wise?  I am getting:

44/45
43/44

both overclocked 375M
