ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

Can anyone explain the below image?
Its from UPS tracking.

i think perhaps customs in your country do not accept import that and item must be return

The funny thing is 1 miner is Held in Warehouse of UPS and the other one gone to Indonasia.
Both of them is part of one order and shipped in the same tracking number.
Wonder how one miner gone to a different country when both are of same shipment tracking id.

Am from B2 (think I missed B1 and got into B2 early) status in Bitmain has changed to shipped about 6 hours ago, and UPS shows that it is en route to pick up the shipment.

Good times thanks Bitmain

Does anyone know what I should put in the "use custom DNS server" box?

Should I leave it blank?

Hooray. Bitmain is showing my B1 order as shipped now. Ups has not picked it up yet, but the label is printed.

I'm hoping the extra wait was worth it. Like they fixed some of the issues,  we will see.

Wow, so those of us who paid for batch 1 prices towards the end got screwed as essentially there is no difference between late batch 1 and early batch 2 since they are being shipped at the same time

Seems like it. We will have to see if they were able to improve the hash rate on the miners, over that time. I would still be happy if I got the 7.7% refund and 2 miners that pull 470 gh/s each.

If I were you I would login to your Bitmain accounts and send a post-sales message with your images, and ask if they will send you some replacement fans.  Otherwise, buy a replacement fan and ask them to refund you the cost of the replacement.  It's quite easy to replace the fan.  Perhaps, before you send a message to bitmain, take cover off and take off the replacement fan (you need cover off to un-plug the fan from the mainboard), and see if the S3 powers up and runs albeit without the broken fan.  If it does work (hope it does) then you know its just a replacement fan that's required otherwise its a complete S3 replacement.

Hi there guys,

I just want to publicly thank everyone that helped me with the setup of my miners.  They are both happily hashing away.

Thanks guys.

This is probably because of the TLC (tender loving care) of the fellows from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJdZgQwRMBk
Consider yourself lucky that only one of your order got damaged, and hopefully its just the fan.  You can ask Bitmain for assistance as suggested already.

I hope that my S3's are not among the victims of that baggage handler...

Cheers

Congrats!  Happy hashing!

Yer that beeping is really really annoying. Is everyone else having the issue?

Im also having this issue.  Beeping set to False but its still randomly does one beep every now and then.  Using a Lan connection, not wifi, incase anyone is wondering.  

It appears to be hashing away perfectly fine.  So I cant work out why it does this random beep.

The manual suggests it beeps when it encounters an error.. but doesnt say what that error is.

I know its not the same beeps as the beeps you get when not connected to a network.

Same here, first saw it on UPS, then it showed up on Bitmain.  Only label raised, package is still with Bitmain, but it is definitely a step forward.  Looks like there is some overlap between B1 and B2 shipping.

Cheers

I had a damaged fan on an S1 - bitmain sent me a replacement fan with my next order - too expensive to ship a fan on it's own.

Just got notice mine shipped today. I believe I am a late batch 2

[Ilan1]

Probably a daft question but I won't need CG Miner will I?

[TR8888]

woop, B2 being shipped, Roll on Batch 3! Should be tomorrow if they keep to their word!

[not.you]

I got a shipping notice from Bitmain.  UPS says it has yet to be picked up though.  B2 order.

Cgminer is already on it, behind the scenes.
