Nevermind. I figured it out. It was pilot error. It's working now. Next challenge is to get the PepperMining program working. For some reason it does not seem to be working. I probably have something incorrect on it also. A document on these products would be welcome. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Regards, James I've just purchased a couple of Habanero's, and in the process of bringing them up. Neither seems to work like I would expect them to. I have read through all of this thread, researched the Habanero website, pulled hair... lost sleep... to no avail. I think that the problem has to do with the Habanero making 'contact' with the miner. (Not sure of the technical terms) It appears that the actual Habanero is working. I can issue a cgminer --benchmark and it starts up and merrily runs hashing away happily... too bad I can't grab some of those and toss them into my wallet. So - here is my cg.bat - which has been edited many times to try different things, but nothing seems to be the correct combination... cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u {user} -p {xxxx} --hfa-name OZ --usb 2:3 --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-temp-target 0 --hfa-temp-overheat 103 --hfa-fail-drop 0 --hfa-hash-clock 300 --api-port 4028 --verbose 2>>logfile_hab.txt I have found that the --verbose is really handy in helping to debug... but the output is cryptic to me.

In addition to -api-port 4028, you need
-api-listen -api-network
This enables listening and network traffic(so you can monitor from other computers on same subnet)

Not-so-funny Habanero story... Chip and Dabs have been running very well the past several weeks. As long as I can keep the ambient down, they purr along at ~1.4+ GH/s. Since they're in my garage, I foolishly decided to leave them running while cleaning the crud and bugs out of the rads. In the process, I accidentally knocked Dabs off the shelf. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) She was saved by the power cables, but not before ripping the USB connector off clean, pads and all. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30721962/dabs_fell_down.jpgAlso, when she went down, the cooling head bounced off the shelf itself, popping one of the hold down screws off. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) I immediately cut the power and grabbed it up, carefully moving it to a bench to assess. No obvious board damage, and I was plugged to the end of the USB chain, so there was hope. Once I got Dabs apart and cleaned up, I noticed a solid mark on the cooling head mounting surface from the die contact, and a very small part of the corner chipped from die 3. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Long story short, I lapped the cooling head, cleaned her up and reassembled. 24 hours later she's running a little hotter than she used to, but still hashes normally. cgminer version 4.4.0 - Started: [2014-07-17 18:33:37] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (5s):1.447T (1m):1.408T (5m):1.429T (15m):1.432T (avg):1.425Th/s A:30007296 R:82944 HW:360811 WU:19909.5/m | ST: 125 SS: 0 NB: 174 LW: 31329244 GF: 0 RF: 0 Connected to stratum-lb48.btcguild.com diff 1.02K with stratum as user xxxxx Block: 40834981...

Lesson learned - disconnect and carefully clean your miners on a bench, not while they're in use. We're very lucky to have two USB ports on these!

What is your voltage set at to run 950 on the clock? I think my voltage is at .960 or .970 and I can only get to 900MHz.

.980 on both with 1.1-1.2% HW. Chip will run at .975, but the errors drop a hair at .980. He's maxed at 950mhz. Higher speeds/voltages yield less hashrate. Dabs is a bit faster at .990/962Mhz, but she's ambient temp sensitive at maxxed voltage. She needs .995+ to run at 975 which gets 725GH/s but closer to 2% HW - Die 3 is a bit weak on that chip.

I have one Hab that has been running nicely since the day I got it with no issues after the normal tweaking for clock and my target temperature. This evening it went offline suddenly and when I checked it the power supply appeared to be tripped. The fans had stopped and everything was dead. There was no hint of magic smoke anywhere. After pulling the plug and letting it sit a bit the PS appeared to reset as one would expect from a trip. I hooked everything back up but as soon as I applied power it appeared to trip again. I pulled a server PS out of the garage that has been running a pair of S1's and hooked it up, same deal except the server supply shuts down and then and attempts to restart after a few seconds without having to pull the plug. The Hab's power supply runs the pair of S1's no problem.
Not sure what might be the problem, but I'm expecting something wrong on the Hab. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot further, or can I send this back for some diagnosis?
Thanks.

that sounds like a direct short to ground. get a magnifying glass and good lighting or a bright flashlight. look for: dust, solder blobs, misplaced components, fried traces near power circuitry, discoloration, charring, etc. e.g. on a bitfury h-card i had running for a while. all of a sudden it stopped working. couldnt find bridges, etc. broke out DMM and power plane was 0V. so went searching and the power converter V out traces were blackened, charred and delaminated. *hopes nothing that serious has happened* -Taug

This gets stranger and stranger. I had some time this evening and took a chance with additional troubleshooting since I'm pretty dead in the water otherwise. The board powers up fine when A,C,D PCI-E are plugged in, but B is what causes the issue. I see nothing wrong with that connection.
If I try to get the board to hash in this state - I am not sure this is possible - I get the Operation status 20 error and it continuously re-detects the board. I have not touched anything to do with firmware and since it doesn't seem to be helping the others with that problem and I'm not going to try yet. I am wondering if it is complaining because that one isn't powered up and if it is possible to disable a chip. I'm not even sure if things are set up that way - just hoping for some kind of way to get it partially alive again.
Thanks for any help.

In a conversation at some point I was advised by Dave that it was worth trying to disable certain dies to resolve this issue. Essentially the idea is to identify the bad die then set its voltage to ZERO so it will then be disregarded and allow the healthy dies to work. So using the version of the hcm tool I have the command is something like # ./hcm --write-die-settings 1:0@0 if you wanted to disable die 1. I tried this tonight but it did not solve my problem. Hopefully Dave can chime in with further suggestions. I will report back if I have any luck tomorrow.

This gets stranger and stranger. I had some time this evening and took a chance with additional troubleshooting since I'm pretty dead in the water otherwise. The board powers up fine when A,C,D PCI-E are plugged in, but B is what causes the issue. I see nothing wrong with that connection.
If I try to get the board to hash in this state - I am not sure this is possible - I get the Operation status 20 error and it continuously re-detects the board. I have not touched anything to do with firmware and since it doesn't seem to be helping the others with that problem and I'm not going to try yet. I am wondering if it is complaining because that one isn't powered up and if it is possible to disable a chip. I'm not even sure if things are set up that way - just hoping for some kind of way to get it partially alive again.
Thanks for any help.
It's hard to tell without testing using a multimeter, but it sounds to me like the one input (B) is shorted. That would be why the PSU is shutting off if it's disconnected. You'll get the regulator programming error if you try to start running with the one cable disconnected, but you should be able to leave B off if you set the voltage to 0 for that die using hftool or JakeTri's modified cgminer. The firmware will then route around that die and not turn on that power supply.

You have the same problem as me just stopped hashing 5 days ago and gives this error. Teal said I need to get a multimeter to track it down.
Having a multimeter would make it quicker, but it's not necessary. It is going to be difficult to do much without having access to a linux machine to adjust voltages or update firmware though. You might need to send it back in in this case. Send me a PM and I can arrange an RMA.

Did you try running them each individually to see if they'll run one at a time? IE, ./hftool.py -w 0:950@900/1:0@900/2:0@900/3:0@900 then ./hftool.py -w 0:0@900/1:950@900/2:0@900/3:0@900 etc.

Hi all,
Got two questions I was wondering if anyone can answer:
1. What are the consequences of setting a high Voltage setting while only using a low Clock speed? Say 350MHz with Voltage 960mv. Would hashing at such low rates have overheating issues, just because the Voltages have been set high? Just setting the Voltages high doesn't mean you consume all the power?
2. The HF-Tool has absolutely nothing to do with naming Habanero boards? It does not permanently record Names to boards and you do not need the HF-Tool to rename a Habanero board? Am I correct that the only way to change the name of the Habanero board is to use cgminer command --hfa-name <arg> ?
I ask this because I have a Habanero board set to 937MHz and Voltage 960mv with the HF-Tool. The board hashes fine at these settings at the rate of 665GHs and at 100c temps.
But the Corsair H100i radiator was recently been punctured and leaked fluid. It has been repaired with twin epoxy and fluids refilled to 99.99%. cgminer is set at 200Mhz and still says ZOMBIE. Message says it's overheating. Have noticed voltage starts at 1.04V but other Habaneros (that have stock settings) run at 0.86V. There is currently no access to a linux box and HF-Tool to down clock the setting of the board. cgminer command is: cgminer.exe --usb HFA:1 -o pool:3333 -u user -p pass --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-temp-target 0 --hfa-temp-overheat 104 --hfa-fail-drop 0 --hfa-hash-clock 200 --api-port 4029
Appreciate your time if you have any hints on how to get the board mining again, QG

1. At least for the board (outside of the cooling system) running at 350MHz@960mV will consume about half the power of running at 700MHz at 960MHz, and efficiency will be about the same. There shouldn't be any overheating issues at that speed if your cooling is working. 2. No, the hftool isn't used for naming the boards. I would double-check the radiator that the pump didn't die when the fluid all leaked, and then try to carefully reseat the head. The voltage reading is likely erroneous, it will sometimes report a weird value if it goes into shutdown before it actually samples a value.
