Perhaps someone can help. I ordered a S2 and it just arrived today, I am in the U.S., but the power plug that came with the unit seems to be different than a standard U.S. plug. It has 3 prongs, but they are all flat, has anyone else encountered this and can I just go and buy a proper cord from a store to replace it?

I want to answer this question but I just can't. Why not? I am being serious, its been a long day and I would really just like to plug the dang thing in, but the plug does not fit my outlet. |

I want to answer this question but I just can't. sure, grab one at a Microcenter store if you have one around-it's in the build your own PC dept. You have to make sure that the other side is C13 "female" plug. I also got that HK cord, LOL |

Could be a 240 plug. I'm sure you can disconnect from psu and use a regular 115 plug cable. |

To Micro Center! (love that place) It says 240V on it, so I assume its a foreign plug. Thanks for those who helped.

I recommend a heavy-duty power cord. The thinner ones will get very hot and can cause the power supply to turn off unexpectedly. |

Better check the PSU for a 110/240 switch on it. Make sure its set correctly before plugging it in. |

Didn't we decide it was Aussie as some point? Either way, a heavy gauge replacement that fits your outlet will pop in and you'll be on your way. |

Ok, Micro Center did not have a 15A cable, only 10A cables. So I am out of places to go today. If I were to take out a hashboard or two, will it run on a 10A cable just fine? Or would you guys recommend not doing that?

I checked my cables, most of my big ones are 16, but I found a 14 that I'm using on one of my S2s. M |
I mine at Kano's Pool because it pays the best and is completely transparent! Come join me! |

I have a 16 gauge one for my power supply for my comp Iwas going to use, but it has a bigger rubber part on the side that fits into the miner, aand won't fit in the S2 power supply. So far best buy and radio shack were a bust, last hope for the day is target or Walmart, otherwise I can't mine for 2 days until Ican order one fROM amazon. Hopefully bitmain compensates well for my troubles.

Or just unplug the washer or dryer or oven and use that outlet for now.
