so... after 3 solid weeks of mining, my apollo stopped today.
I can access the dashboard, but I cant get it to start mining again. I click the "start" button and it tells me to wait 30 seconds and then nothing. I have tried rebooting it, as well as tried all 3 modes. Same result, any suggestions?

I'd try re-imaging the SD card. I think others have seen this before.

yea if you dont have a good SD card they get corrupted quickly running an OS...I wish our MCUs had onboard NAND :/

Hello. I have also one, but i have a question. Is it possible to update the Minera Version to the 0.9.1. Maybe with SSH?
Thanks Dominik

One of my PCI-E connector on Apollo get burned using Balanced mode on default settings. Any suggestions? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fibb.co%2FDW94Q7J&t=665&c=Qyo4o5sBY9klcA) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fibb.co%2FD1trSmR&t=665&c=AaGo7gs8bGDyCw) First that looks like a cheap low gauge PCIE splitter, second did you have two separate PCIE from wires from your PSU plugged into both plugs on the Apollo? Looks like you only had one plugged in, which is a no-no for anything other than ECO mode. You should always have both plugs from your PSU plugged into the Apollo regardless to be safe, thats why they are there.

Our UI is custom built, it does not run minera (only similarities are the style since the minera developer works for us to build our front end UI).

Great power supply, very high efficiency, great miner Apollo there, all wasted by cheap 6pin to 6pin cables or even Y splitters... Never cheap out on this. Your Apollo will still work I presume, you have another PCI-e female port to use in ECO mode, or you can plug them both, but be aware that one pin is probably not conductive anymore so you cannot ever use turbo mode, unless you fix it/solder it back.

Has anyone done any testing on switching the fan from an exhaust to an ingress orientation? I am thinking about doing that, after cleaning out the heatsink (full of dust) and putting a dust filter over the top if I do switch the orientation. Ultimately what I'm trying to do is get better temps over longer periods of time, with less maintenance. This is the first time I've had to clean dust out of the heatsink, but it's taken about an hour to do. I more like the idea of periodic cleaning of the dust filter instead ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) EDIT: The other option I'm considering is just applying more dust filters to the present intakes (on the sides), and at the front; luckily 92mm dust filters mostly line up with the screws that hold the sides onto the main frame. That said, a single 92mm filter leaves a small gap near the rear end of the side intakes, about 1cm wide, where there's no filtration.

That said, a single 92mm filter leaves a small gap near the rear end of the side intakes, about 1cm wide, where there's no filtration. The heatsink is specifically designed for the fan to run as an exhaust instead of pushing air through the top. While you can run it this way it was designed like this to have the highest thermal efficiency at low fan speeds. If you run it reverse you'll find that the fan will need to run at much higher RPMs to keep the same temps. I guess if noise is not an issue for you there is no harm in trying since the controller will compensate for reduced thermal efficiency...I wouldn't do this in Turbo mode though since even at 5-6k RPM that fan might not be able to keep up in this configuration.

Ok thanks for the authoritative response. I'm gonna give a go at putting some 92mm dust filters around the 3 sides then, keep them as exhausts and see if that helps the dust situation for the next 3 months or so.

After setup (my Apollo is working fine), I have port-forwarded from the WAN side of my router to the Apollo portal, but it always displays the "Initial Setup" modal, blocking the login form. The expected behavior was that I would be able to log in and configure as usual. I'm hesitant to do the 'initial setup' again, because I don't want to overwrite my existing setup. Did I miss something, or is this a bug?

Does this occur when you only access the Apollo from outside your local network, or does it happen from your local IP as well? If it only happens outside it could be a bug, as I have not tested this case. If its happening in both cases then sounds like the SD card got corrupted and is not accessing your already configured flag.
