ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread

[nikolaz]

Like a nervous expectant father....

I think I've got everything prepped:

-bench cleared and ready for surgery reseating the inevitably unseated cards.  cordless screwdriver battery charging.
-2nd router daisy-chained to primary router to create 192.168.1.x subnet
-AntMiner S2 manual pdf downloaded and open
-exterior security cameras watching for UPS truck
-credit card on hand to pay import duty
-wearing out command-r refreshing this thread

have i missed anything?

coffee, lots of coffee

My UPS in Scotland/UK Took Card fine but tbh best doing it over the phone so there is no on hand delivery charges plus means a lot faster

Just received my lone S2. I can confirm that the straps on the box do nothing but entice the driver to sling it around 1-handedly as I watched the man grab it and bounce it off the 2-steps of his truck. The package is well worn around the edges for just 3-day trip and has nice rip into the side. Unboxing now. Bad note, I can hear things rolling around inside the box already.

Could tell me somebody the fans are 120x38 or 120x20mm?

Maybe?

Not at home to check but I'm quite sure they're 38mm

[ElGabo]

Thanks!

Could you check me when you here?

I should know what to order.... Ants will be here in the middle of next week and I always change the fans to high cfm....

[klondike_bar]

I imagine they use the same 120x38 fans as the S1 - you want lots of airflow for a system like this.

[btc_jumpnrl]

Reseated all the boards, and rerouted some of the wires and taped down the fan wires (they are a bit close to the boards for my taste). Booted up. First boot with full fans is LOUD. Just plugged in my settings and is rebooting now. I have some pictures and a video of the first Boot with full fans I can upload in a bit. I lack Kill-a-watt or a sound leveler so I can't help out with those.

The main fans are 4X 120x38mm though. They are Jiang Shan Lai (JSL) DC Brushless Model JDH1238B. 12V - 1A.

If anyone is wondering, I'm seeing 10A @ 208V for two S2 units on my PDU.

Well holy hell.
In my off the shelf (non-Bitmain) BBB here at work, it fired right up once I loaded this.

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.

Who wants to see the difference between the Bitmain BBB and the stock BBB?

I will start a solution discussion thread soon in the future for S2.

For now, if you guys experience dead or bad PSU, try and replace the jumper cable with another one.

- will update this post for more solutions -

Thanks 1l1l11ll1l,

the small differences make me think the S2 BBB is a chinese knockoff clone..

You guys realize that the BBB is an open source design right?
