[Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain AntMiner S1 Setup [HD]

[thegoldbug]

What sort of HW error rate should I be seeing?  I have two AntMiners I just got up and running today, up time is 5+ hours and here is what each is showing:


#1)   Accepted 7507    Rejected 13   HW  2695  Utility 21   Discarded 852   Ave 179.18 Gh/s   Temp 48
#2)   Accepted 7917    Rejected 22   HW  3010  Utility 22   Discarded 966   Ave 178.59 Gh/s   Temp 46


Both are pointed at Eligius with a backup at BTCGuild and both are running at factory settings (no overclock).

thanks for your help

DiffA and DiffR are the important numbers as they take into account your pool difficulty.<1% is perfect.

hello, is there a way to activate rpm info on rear fan

Your temps look damn hot!!!!  Should be no where near that temp.  Have you got a PWM fan plugged into the second blade?

i know its a bit hot but stock fan is horribly to noisy, cant stand it. i installed 2 bequiet shadow wings, now its quiet and as long as temp stays below 60° c i think it's ok, no?

Github suggests not to let it go above 50. These aren't on die or even on chip temps, so the actual die temps will be ~+30.

[stef942]

ok so i re installed stock fan, temp is 43° now , any idea to get rpm of rear fan?

[necro_nemesis]

My understanding is it's not implemented in the GUI. Apparently the fan is controlled through the secondary connector so there is logic there to control the fan speed but it just doesn't indicate what it's doing. If you search posts you'll find someone who encountered this previously and was reaching out to Bitmain for a fix.

Here's the link to that fan information.

s2 setup help please!

How do you enable logging in to the miner web ui when it is connected to your lan only through wifi? Strangely I can log on with the wifi IP when a LAN cable is connected, but not without a LAN cable. I tried playing arounf with firewall setting, but couldn't find a solution.

WAN has to also be set to DHCP.

Yep. It won't let you resolve a non DHCP address otherwise.

3 ants will push it but should be doable. I wouldn't overclock though.

So basically, I can split an Ant between 2 of these? Each PSU has 4 PCI-E cables, pretty sure the explanation is clear enough with just text, but if a diagram helps let me know. No plans to OC.

Would be like this:
Ant1
PSU a

Ant2
PSU a & b (cable from each)

Ant3
PSU b

This is absolutely fine as there is no actual crossloading. Each blade in an S1 acts independently when it comes to power so you're essentially powering 3 miners on PSU a and 3 on PSU b.

Problems can happen when people power one miner with two PSUs due to crossloading issues.

I got the above configuration working without any issues, thanks.

Next question, pushing it more of course... Can I power 2 Antminers with a Corsair TX850w? Neither one is over-clocked.

Oh, super! Thanks for the prompt response!!

Np. It will be close if you want to OC though.
