hi everyone.. i got my first one delivered... just to double check with you... did you get the pci-e extender cable? it's missing in mine  Mine didn't, but mine has a 6pin PCI-e connector on each board. You sure yours hasn't got those too ? Mine does also, going to see how this turns out...just got it literally 5 mins ago. |

So how does this work then.? Do we need to buy anything additional for it to work.? |

As far as actual power to the S1 blades (the real computers doing the mining), just plug in the PCI-E 6-pin from your PSU. One for each S1 blade. |

I wasn't looking forward to cutting the wires. |

Delivery van just dropped off my units. Very nice indeed to see 6-pin PCIe connectors on the units now ! Thanks again Bitmain and Sushi !  |

I wonder if you still have to upgrade the firmware to antMiner_openwrt20131212.bin? I see a date of manufacture(?) there of 12/1/2013? |

I notice that between the 2nd(?) gen boards (first with the red/black terminals) and this, capacitors were added on pads C608/C609 in the image. Im just curious what these are for- related to the added PCI-e connector or not fully implemented at the time for some other form of current control? |

I literally plugged two 6-pin PCI connectors into my Antminer, and an ethernet cable and was good to go. No splicing needed for this model.

That's great news. What about the jumper wire to between pin 16 and 17 on the ATX 24-PIN? Thanks. |

That's not Antminer specific. Got it. Thanks. STill waiting for my Ant. I'm ready. I got the power supply (CX750M) from bestbuy since 2 days ago. Modular so less clutter as much as possible. I already have an Ikea table that is going to be shared with my Litecoin miner (that is currently out of commission until my burnt-out 7970 graphics card RMA replacement come in).  |

GODDAM IT.
This is the THIRD time UPS has shafted me (every antminer ive ordered). Just like the last 2 times, I was home all day for the package and left a note in the lobby with a buzzer code and instructions to come to the 4th floor.
Just like before, its past 7pm (its actually 9:45PM today) before the tracking status changes from 'on truck for delivery' to 'first attempt made'. Its too late to schedule a will-call with UPS.
What can I do about this? Its obviously not Bitmain's fault, but im seriously pissed off that once again the UPS delivery truck decided to skip me and mark me as 'attempt made' when no such thing took place. UPS call center of course gives less than half of a f**k.

Gotta complain to UPS, odds are the driver didn't want to go up to the 4th floor. |

Wow, that sucks. I had that happen with another package. Lost a day and a half of hashing that way. The Postal service said that was not my regular driver, blah blah blah, we don't give a rat's butt. Talk to the postmaster, blah blah blah. But, get this, I was home, and the driver did not even bother to ring the doorbell. He just slid the Antminer package about 3 feet on the snow on my porch, and it came to a halt about 3 inches before hitting the wall. I can still see the track it left in the snow. Some of these deliver guys just seriously do not care. Not that I really blame them, but it would suck to have something shipped from China then have to ship it back because some troglodyte UPS person treated it like crap. |
