You can use an adapter 2xMolex-to-6pinPCI-E.   Just like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pin-Molex-to-6-Pin-PCI-E-Power-Adapter-12cm-New-/331294629159?pt=US_Power_Cables_Connectors&hash=item4d22b2dd27.

Sure, you should connect one native PCI-E power cable from your PCU and one "adaptered" power cable to each side of your S3.

Hello all, new to this..so here goes.  Got a s3 all hooked up runs nice.  I can access the miner via 192.168.0.8 as thats the subnet my cable modem uses.  I have configured pools, can ping out of the miner but cannot connect to a pool.  any help would be great and if i need to provide more info i will.

Anyone know what it means when both green and red lights are on? I'm trying to reset but the reset directions are not working. I was connected to Wifi and was trying to connect to another wifi. I deleted the wifi settings before switching the physical settings to ethernet. Now I can't access the miner through ethernet or Wifi.
Please Help!

This is an ass backwards guide for IP settings on your antminers. Don't follow OP's instructions. Do it the same way as the S1.

Its also really not S3 specific, the thread is just here to link to his group buy.

Its It's ...

The thread is rather informative. IT'S an independent review, not a paid employee. Has noise figures also which many reviews leave out.

I did reset to default via browser, ant3 panel and it try a few hours.

Than I did reset by clicking small button, like said in post nr 1.

Now I can't find ip of this antminer, guess it's the same vbut can't connect.

I use sniffer (i guess) to find ip deviaces and for other 2 ant3 miners I can find it.

In advance ty for any support.

Hello, accidently, i deleted the lan interface in the miner. I tried a reset but i can't connect...

[tperry]

Ok, I had read a lot about the AntMiner S3. 
Here is my story.
I purchased three used AntMiner S3s.  When I hooked up the first one, I realized that the previous owner had not reset them.  Ok, no problem, I had also been reading up on the S3 and some people were saying that the reset didn't work.  I went in changed settings, made it a static IP, and the miner would not work.  I could log in, but none of the mining would work. 
I went in to reset the interface (Network/Interface) and I clicked on delete bu accident.  I lost all contact and just kicked myself for turning it into a brick.
Cursing to myself, I moved to the second one.  Same problem as before, change network settings and it would not work.  I go again to reset, but now I see a WAN and a LAN.  So, somewhere I had left my brain on a table or something and I clicked on delete on WAN.  DAMNIT!  Lost access tot hat one, so, another brick.  I move onto the third one, again, same settings and the miner would not work.  I look online and find that someone had set it to dynamic and it worked.  Tried that and BOOM!  It worked!

Now, what does this have to do with anything?  I have one working S3 and two bricks.

I had left the power attached to the other two in all of this.  So, with nothing else to lose, I tried the reset button on both.  I held it for about 15 to 20 seconds.  Waited a few minutes and still nothing.  On a hunch, because having been in IT for a few years, but been out of it for 6 years now, I decided to reboot.  It has worked in other situations a long time ago, so I rebooted everything.

I now have three working S3's.  Resetting them and waiting onwards of ten minutes restored everything.  I was evean able to access them from the default IP address of 192.168.1.99.

So, if the reset does not work, why did it work for me?
