Make sure your other S3 that is working IS NOT on the default IP of 192.168.1.99 too.
Thanks for recommendation. I only tried one OR the other to avoid both getting same IP (also I moved the working one to .199 instead of .99). So it must be something else. |

I used the method above to overclock my S1s, but I thought you could change the freq from the advanced menu in the S3. My first S3s still in the mail. Do you still have to SSH to overclock the S3?

Hi!
I hope you could help me.
Just received my two Antminer S3+ batch 8. One is working fine, the other just blinks red, does not spin the fan (only spins for a brief moment when the device is turned on).
I can't access it through 192.168.1.99. I also searched in the router and don't see any other devices (in case it is not using default 192.168.1.99 port)
I tried unplugging power and LAN from working miner and connecting to this one. It does not improve the situation.
I'd appreciate if somebody could point out what else to try.
What does the red flashing even mean? (It is not fast flashing, rather slow. Perhaps every second or half second)
Or do you know if Antminer provides support or does returns?
Many thanks in advance!
As another heads up - Bitmain have recently upgraded their support capabilities, locations etc.. I'd had the pleasure to use their support services recently and I couldnt be happier, they were brilliant More details on their new support contacts (if anyone else needs them) : **************************** Bitmain Technologies Warranty Department 3700 Quebec Street Suite 100239 Denver, Colorado 80226 USA Telephone number: 1-844-248-6246 or for the European Region Bitmain Technologies department 119, 143 kingston road, London, SW19 1LJ, United Kingdom Telephone Number: +44-020-30024099 For US customers Please include our telephone number 1-844-248-6246 on the shipping label. and for the European Region Please include our telephone number +44-020-30024099 on the shipping label. |

I rebooted and no change at all. Do I need to upgrade the firmware? It was working fine until I updated the firmware. Then I didn't get any speeds over 100G on both of them. I reset the miner back to factory and started over. Now it's mining at 218 on the GUI, but 250 when I ssh into the miner.
this is interesting
post your asic-freq file from \etc\config. if you dont have one (since you said you renamed the file to .old) then that's your 1st problem. I went into the miner config>advance settings tab, to make the change. Putty not needed. thank you here is a screen shot for those that need help  |

Crosspost from the Hardware thread: Hey all, I was updating my batch 1 S3 units to the latest firmware and one of them is having troubles booting now. I cannot access it via the webui or via ssh. I attempted a hard reset using the button on the front so I know the address of the miner should be 192.168.1.99. Red light is blinking. I'm familiar with how to talk to the miners as I've had around 10 S1, a couple S2, and 10 S3. This is the only one giving me issues.
I swapped control boards with another S3 and it's working fine, so the hashing boards are okay. I sent an email requesting an RMA for the control board.
Does anybody have anything else I can try?
Thanks,
Dave
Use tcpdump to monitor the traffic on the subnet. Once I thought I had changed to DHCP and moved the device to another subnet but couldn't find it with nmap. I ran tcpdump on another machine on that subnet and most of the traffic had the correct subnet but some packets had the .1.99 address so I knew the problem was that it didn't take the protocol change to DHCP. Why would the address be anything other than 192.168.1.99 though? I did a hard reset. The hard reset didn't actually work. I'm able to access the webui now, but neither asic chain shows on the miner status page. I've tried reverting back to the original firmware and clearing all of my settings. I get usb errors in the log: [ 27.910000] usb 1-1.1: device not accepting address 4, error -145
[ 28.010000] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-platform
[ 38.430000] usb 1-1.1: device not accepting address 5, error -145
[ 38.530000] usb 1-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-platform
[ 48.950000] usb 1-1.1: device not accepting address 6, error -145
[ 48.950000] hub 1-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 I switched USB cables and have the same issue. With another control board the miner functions normally. Tech support is telling me I may have a DNS problem. I have 8 other ants with the same DNS. What am I missing here? Flashed the latest firmware and reset the settings again. Still getting usb errors. |

If I am hashing above 500GH/s but there is a "-" and "x" for one of my blades is this bad or should I ignore it?
Ever since switching to nicehash this has happened.

Goxed, You got a really nice unit if it's remaining stable at 250 clock and 504GH/s, congrats! Mine apparently are part of the batch that caused Bitmain to set the clocks back to 218.75. I tried 225, 237.5 and 250. I would consistently get "x" and "-" in the ASIC stats and the units never got anywhere near the 504GH/s you're showing. I left them running like that for 7 hours while I slept last night, hoping things might get better over time. When I woke up and checked, Ant 1 was averaging 450GH/s and Ant 2 was averaging 387. At 250 clock. I set them back to stock and after 13 hours I'm at 441 and 439 with 0.0002% and 0.0004% HW errors. All ASICs are "o". It's definitely not a power issue - I've got an EVGA 1300 G2. I even went so far as to hook only 1 up at a time on the PSU to see if it made a difference. All 4 PCI-e connected. Also, that solution for the random beeping did not work for me unfortunately. They still randomly beep at me. It's like they're just letting me know they're still going. If somebody does come up with a valid solution to this, I'd be very much... well, my little lady will be very much appreciative of it  As for temps and fans, mine are in an ambient 22C room. Ant 1 shows 38/39 and Ant 2 shows 39/40 on stock speeds. Fans are 1560/1380 and 1620/1380, respectively. With the same PSU as I have, philipma1957 reported 665W at the wall to run them both at stock. The same as above! |

Hi. Please, restart you power supply. If you continue with this error in any chips, you need down your OC a little more. Regards. Antuam. |

I upgrade two S1's to S3's. One performs great at 243.75 ~ 490 Gh/s. The other at the same clock was averaging much lower. I backed it down to 237.5 and it hashes higher.
Expect to spend quite a bit of time upgrading the S1. There are a ton of screws to remove, then retighten! You'll need a hex bit to remove them.

are they still working on firmware updates for the s3's? like feature ads.. like going and adding support for a small lcd display to display stats on? like hash rate, pool info, and so on.. theres what looks like a serial debug console port.

So I upgraded my s1's to s3's and things were going smoothly. However the last one didnt flash and now seems to be fried. I cant get it to connect to the network or my pc or anything. Does anyone have some advice for this noob?? I would say I am a complete noob except I did upgrade 2 other s1's with no hitch that are working perfectly.

Reset them to factory default. To do this you will find small hole near where the lan port. Insert a needle into this while the unit is switched on. That should reset the unit. Hope this gets it back for you  |

Welp 5 days in and my antminer s3+ caught fire!   This literally just happened like 5 minutes ago. Rig went offline, went out to see what's what and try and give it a power cycle, no go.. So I swapped the psu for a brand new one and went to turn it on and was met with a huge cloud and smoke and an adrenaline rush. (all cables correct etc, I have 9 others from the same batch running on the same corsair rm1000 PSUs with uptimes of 5 days, no overclocking involved)  Does anyone have info for UK bitmain support? Just tried calling the UK number above and its just a mailing forward address. |

Yeah no idea what happened to it, I've spoke to a guy at bitmain and organised a replacement. |

Bitmain S1 upgrade kits..
Well after pulling my hair out for a couple of hours it dawned on me that you need to update the firmware with the latest S3+ ver.
At stock 225 freq its running at 450 GH/s pulling 385 watts from a very high grade server power supply.
Want to let it run for a while before I try to ramp up the freq.
Stock form temp is 39C
will let you know how I make out with overclocking, If I get it to 500 I'll be happy.
Bob
