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

[dmmr]

you may need to restart your miner, i do a reboot every few days and monitor twice a day.

These things are great, figured I'd snap some pics with my thermal cam.
...

Great shots, shows that the top right hand side chips are running some 15c above the monitored middle temperature.

Do you know what the ambient temp was at the time?

About 72F ~22.2C

Many thanks Photon939!

Just for the record:

EVGA NEX750B  (750w bronze) power supply working fine overclocked (400 frequency, 203.13 GH/s).

Antminer would power down if I used both red VGA cords that were hardwired into the PSU.  If I only used one of the hardwired VGA cords and plugged in another to one of the two VGA outputs on the back of the PSU everything is good.

I'm at work and can't leave, but my pool is showing the Antminer losing connection. It comes back after a while, but then drops again. Is this typical? Do these need frequent restarts? I had over 24 hours of mining and then leave for work, of course when I'm 30 miles away it decides to drop connection

Call me me Crazy but I'm running one of my S1 OC'd at 400mhz with EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W.

PS only has one PCI-E cable so I cut the CPU cable for the second blade. Running 4 days now no issues. 12 Volt 40amp rail a little low at 11.65 V but the Antminer doesn't seem to mind. Room is 22C and PS is very cool to the the touch. S1 Blade temps 41-43C range.

these are at new egg now for $35 after MIR.

Yes, people seem to be forgetting I recommend ATX 4/8 pins over PCI-E 6 pin. Its where the majority of the 12V goes into the motherboard, which could be up to ~300W.

hi guys.....just got my s1 today!  woohoo.....i been trying for couple hours now to connect to it.  it isnt showing in my router log as being on though.  have a corsair cx430 psu, connected to linksys di624 via ethernet, with my pc on same router, connected(ethernet cable)off my roommates cisco wireless n router............do i need to change configuration in my dlink, or my roommates router?  typing ip on front of antminer says "oops! chrome could not connect to 192.168.1.99".  ethernet card lights on antminer are blinking.  theres a solid green light under ethernet, a solid red light under some of cables & blinking green light under cables as well.......

Check your router is on 192.168.1.x

Sorry, we missed that. Pool IPs should be written like: stratum+tcp://eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333. It will continue to reboot if pools are wrong.

Whats the refund policy for a unit which has malfunctioned day two? Does Sushi honour or do we go to Antminer? Had 3 Xs most of the day reset Ant as stated on the troubleshooting guide by Dogie and now powers up can get into the miner via browser but no miner status everything else is as it should be just no flashing lights on chip boards all other lights come on no no clicking just ZERO hashes! of deerey deerey me. PM'd Sushi but as others have been waiting with several more miners with hosting issues and not had a response I doubt I will get one. So wondering where to turn to now does Bitmain honour warranties anyone had any experience of this and returns with them?

got two at same time other works fine same settings apart from IP of course.

Thanks
