Newbie question: How to make my Antminer S1 work?

[acaciosc]

Hello,
I'm trying to turn on my antminer s1 (in single blade mode, because I have a Corsair CX430M, and it has only one PCI-E connector), but the fan starts spinning and stops after less than 10 seconds. I'm almost sure that I still do need another connector, as you guys can see in the pictures:















I'm using a paper clip to make my PSU work without a CPU.
Thanks in advance!

The fan stops soon after you turn on the miner but it will start spinning again once it starts mining.

When you power it on and the fan stops spinning do the lights stay lit?

Thank you very much for replying me so fast! 
Yes, the leds are blinking as if they were working correctly.

Now the Antminer's Fan does not work at all. I didn't let it turned on for a while because I'm afraid to fry it.

I also thought it could be because it is not hot yet, but need to know this one fur sure, because that was not so cheap.

The newer S1's have the fan only turn on when it gets to a certain temperature.

So don't worry about the fan for now, have you tried connecting to the miner with a web browser? It should be on 192.168.1.99 or 192.168.2.99 there should be sticker on the miner telling you what IP address it is.

You need to have your computer on the same IP range to connect to it. e.g. 192.168.1.55 for example, your network might already be set on the 192.168.1.x IP range already, so you will need to find that out, how you do that is then depending on your computer. The same if you need to change your IP address to match the range on the miner, it depends if you have a Windows or Mac or Linux box how you make that change.

My miner has 192.168.0.1 as his default ip. I've tried loading it here in my Chrome browser but didn't work. I don't know what should be the default network mask, gateway and ip. I'm using Fedora 32 Bits, by the way.

EDIT: My fan is spinning right now, yay!!!  

The only problem at this moment is configurating my network to connect with it. I have Wi-fi connection, but right now I'm trying via ethernet cable. I think I will switch to wi-fi mode and see what happens.  

EDIT again: Ooops, his ip is 192.168.199. My bad!

EDIT: My cable was not plugged correctly and now it's in a screen which I need to insert my username and password... I'm trying to figure out what that is. I did what you wrote about using an ip in the same range and is working smoothly.

You can't configure wifi mode until you have first connected with ethernet.

First you need to set you Fedora to the same net range as the Ant if its not already.

Check IP address of fedora, open a console and type ifconfing in the console window, that should give you lots of info but you will need to look for the IP address of eth0 probably.

Network working now.  
I only need to figure out what I have to insert as username and password... Can I simply put anything?

EDIT: And what about using a paper clip to make my PSU work without a PC? Is this ok? No problem at all?

EDIT: A simple search answered my doubt about password and username: both are root.
What I didn't get knowledge is about using a paper clip in my PSU. A thing which I'm very afraid...

[Stinky_Pete]

Default username and password are both 'root'.

[acaciosc]

Default username and password are both 'root'.

Yeah, I noticed that with a simple search. I asked this one because I'm crazy to see that miner working as fast as possible. But what about using a paper clip in my PSU? Can I use my miner this way in long term?

Its fine, I wrap mine in electrical tape just to be sure, but its not needed.

Nice one.

But now I'm getting a lot of error messages: "'192.168.1.99' não pode ser encontrado" (couldn't be found) and my worker is not showing on multipool.us as active...

You think too much about that paper clip. Paper clips is the simple way to power on the PSU. The idea is short PS-ON pin with ground. Similar function available on mainboard. So use any mean you like to short PS-ON with ground.

Ok, I'm not paranoid about the paper clip anymore. lol.
The problem now is about making my asic mine (the best part, haha).

You have to set the miner to use the same gateway and DNS servers as your computers on your network.

I think I'm not using a DNS address. Do I need to use one? Google DNS, for example?
EDIT: I still can't make my worker work... Miner Status without any values yet and multipool not showing an active worker (the only one supposedly working actually is from my Antminer S1).

Yes, you can use 8.8.8.8 as dns server

My worker is not showing as active yet! I have no clue what is going on.

Set the IP to match you network prefix. Set the gateway to your router IP.

Tell me your computer IP & gateway

I don't know why, but my Wi-fi does not work, regardless of what I do... And if I were to use my miner to connect through Wi-fi, it should be an open wi-fi, without password, correct?

I can connect to my miner ip via browser only if it's directly plugged in my modem via ethernet cable... ;\
