When I switch off my SP20, they come back in 5-10 min. First time I thought that they went dead too. Did you wait that long?

Yeah, they've been on for about 80 minutes now......

Are you able to see them on "http://myminer.io/" ?  If working properly they should nicely be showing there. If truly nothing finds them there is always recovery through SD image.

Nope - nothing.....

Well, thanks for the suggestions guys, it's appreciated - but I've resigned myself to the fact that I've got to do a SD recovery on them I'm afraid 

Wish I knew what caused it though......

can you ping them?
can you SSH to them?

I had basically the same problem with all 4 of mine. For some reason they didn't like my DHCP server (Sonicwall NSA 2400) using the 10. network config. I had to plug them into a cheap netgear cable modem and then log into them and then static them a 10. address. If you know the mac you could try to arp it with the -s command and set your ip and then see if you could reach it.

I throw this out there, did you just try a computer and a switch connected to them? You know just configure the NIC on the computer to see if you can get them on a standalone situation. Interested to find out what happened.

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions - but I tried absolutely everything suggested. I've now completed an SD Recovery on both units and they are again working as before. It really is the strangest thing - but I'm happy I got them back. I could understand if it happened to just the one, but both? Strange stuff.

I'll think twice before switching them off again though......

Peace

Bought two SP20, very happy with them !

I run the fan speed at 20% on both units. The problem is => I have one of the unit that is having a "Resonating Wave" sound at 20% speed. I know it's bad luck. Is anyone else experimented the same thing with a unit ? It's like going on a medium-high pitch every 2 second or so ... "wouuuuuuuuuuuuangggggg ....... wouuuuuuuuuuuuuuang" (<= hahahah nice try isn't )

I tried to use foam just to try to block the wave with no luck.

I can ALMOST get rid of it if i play with my hand and the airflow.

I guess if i could run it at 21% or 22% i might get rid of it.

This is soooooooooo unlucky

Thanks  !

i had one unit resonating like this. changing fan to 30 fixed it, paradoxically.

yeah i kind of think of increasing the fan speed but it's already to the limit for noise it created for my in-house mining. (i wanna keep my girlfriend). So i will try to set it to 30 and see how it goes.

thanks !

EDIT: How much louder it is from 20 to 30 ? I'm not home at the moment, just curious

Set it to 24 in /etc/mg_custom_rate in fan using ssh.

i guess you meant mg_custom_mode ?

i would say not much, maybe 5%, but a different pitch (less whine).

Hey guys, I ran a search through this thread but couldn't scratch up an answer.  One of my SP20s is hashing fine, but the time and date on the machine is not correct, and it breaks the graphs.  Has anyone dealt with this issue in the past?

Cheers.

lcf.

I have the same issue, it doesn't match the timezone i have set in the settings.

One of my SP20 will not change the fan speed.
No matter what setting I put it always goes on max.
I even tried editing the "custom_mode" file, still wont change ?!

It's on the same subnet as a working unit, and we don't block NTP traffic on the ASA.  If I ssh in and configure it manually will the GUI pick that up?

Cheers.

Nope, scratch that--I lied.  The ASA is blocking NTP requests.  I'll need to dig up the entry real quick!  Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

yeah, i had this when it connected to BusyBox which is apparently a linux embedded systems toolbox (see events). hash line got broken and date changed to ~1-2 week ahead. Maybe miner somehow reaches into the future?

It was definitely the NTP server in my case, the traffic was being blocked by my firewall.  I'm still digging around in the config to find where I fat-fingered it, but I'm sure it will sort.

Until then, this miner is livin' in the past!

I've often found a simple reboot, once all settings are as you want them (but showing in the past) sorts the problem.
