you can keep the receptacle you will just need the plug that fits it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WQVGNNR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?

works with some dryer receptacles


and it would work with


 this cable
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4YWYGS2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?


and this cable
https://www.amazon.com/IEC-C20-C13-Splitter-Cord/dp/B07J6S348C/ref=sr_1_5?

so wall outlet =1)

adatper I just linked =2)

l6 -30p to c19 cable =3)

c20 to spliter c13 = 4)

Hi,
I am new to mining, and am about to get towards the end of the month a new Antminer S19 95TH, so, as I have some time to prepare/plan, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to set it up:
- I was told that I need a separate line of 220V, however I was thinking to get a step-up trafo from 110 to 220V having 5000W. Is this OK?
- I understood that the antminer comes w/o any power cables, so I have to get 2 power cables (similar like those for PCs) from what I could see on its picture, correct?
- what software do I need in order to have it mine properly?
- in order to configure it, is it possible to connect it to a monitor and a keyboard?
- I saw on a tutorial video that the miner needs 2 cables, so would I also need a UPS to plug those cables?
- as sometimes most of tutorial videos are pretty old regarding pools, and software used, is it possible to get a link towards a more recent video?
- do I need a cold wallet? I have right now 2 wallets on Crypto and Shakepay, however I understood that more securely would be a cold wallet, so which one would be a good one to use?
I am going to consult also this forum and see what I can find as information.
Thank you

I assume you have a usa based home due to 120 volt power.

Transformers are hard on the wiring.

if you bump a 1 line 120volt  wire to 240 via a transformer then pull 5000 watts you will very likely melt it.

consult an electrician ask for a 220-240 volt line with a L6-30r receptacle

https://www.amazon.com/ELEGRP-Receptacle-Generator-Grounding-Industrial/dp/B08CXF9WDC/ref=asc_df_B08CXF9WDC?

it will need 10ga  wire and a 30 amp 2 pole circuit breaker.


like this https://www.amazon.com/Square-HomeLine-2-Pole-Circuit-Breaker/dp/B002YEJITO/ref=sr_1_4?


buy this cable
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4YWYGS2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?


and this cable

https://www.amazon.com/IEC-C20-C13-Splitter-Cord/dp/B07J6S348C/ref=sr_1_5?


so

1) 30 amp 2 pole in your circuit box
2) l6-30r receptacle on the wall wire with 10 gauge wire
3) l6-30p to c19 10 gauge 10 foot cable
4) c20 to c13 that I listed.

Should be safe up to 4000 watts or easy peasy 1 s19

lastly do you have hard wired internet with eth cables?

Hi philipma1957,

Thank you very much for the useful information.
I checked again my situation in the basement, and found an outlet for 240V that was intended for an electric dryer, however because my actual dryer is on gas, this outlet remained unused.
The circuit is already on the electric panel and has a breaker, like for a dryer. Would this be enough?
Also I was thinking to use a plug for that outlet with a cable of about 6m that I will pull to a double outlet that I would mount on a wall. What do you think?
I think I will do this with an electrician to do all that cabling.
I have internet 1000Mbps in the house, so I would need a cat7 cable from the router (2nd floor) to the basement, to plug it into the Antminer, right?

Thank you again

most likely the plug will work as electric dryer 240volt lines draw a lot of power
Yeah, I would think that that outlet should be OK because as you said the electric dryer would draw a lot of power.
So you think that line should be OK?
Also, I would instead of the plug you suggested https://www.amazon.com/ELEGRP-Receptacle-Generator-Grounding-Industrial/dp/B08CXF9WDC/ref=asc_df_B08CXF9WDC? to use a plug fitting that outlet, right? The outlet is already there, so I was thinking that I should as well use it, no?
Thank you

CAT-5 or 6 will be fine as miners actually use very little bandwidth and are happy even with a 10mbit connection. It is not until you start connecting to several miners that connection speed between the router & miners becomes a concern.

Hey,

i am doing a similar setup as yours. Were you successful with the transformer?

If he uses a 5000 watt 120 to 240 boost transformer such as this one


https://www.amazon.com/Yinleader-Voltage-Converter-Transformer-VTUS-5000/dp/B09LQXP8R2/ref=sxin_16_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?

it will not work well

try and find a 50amp single pole circuit breaker.

and it needs more than  10 gauge wire it needs 8 gauge and there would be a proper plug to carry that much current.

You could, but I would advice against it, there would some energy loss in this process, better to install 220v.

- I understood that the antminer comes w/o any power cables, so I have to get 2 power cables (similar like those for PCs) from what I could see on its picture, correct?

It's called C13, ya it's the same plug as the one you use on your PC, but sure thing is, it isn't the same rating, you are going to need each wire to be at least 1.5mm square thick.

Quote
- what software do I need in order to have it mine properly?

Nothing, just your Chrome browser or whatever you already use.

Quote
- in order to configure it, is it possible to connect it to a monitor and a keyboard?

No, you use your laptop / PC, write the miner IP address on the browser, and you will be inside the miner to do the pool configuration.
 
Quote
- I saw on a tutorial video that the miner needs 2 cables, so would I also need a UPS to plug those cables?

You mean PDU? you can, or you can just get the Y split cable that phill posted above, the only issue with that Y spilt is that your breaker/socket need to handle the entire amp draw whereby using 2 single cables the load is divided.

Quote
- as sometimes most of tutorial videos are pretty old regarding pools, and software used, is it possible to get a link towards a more recent video?

Nothing has changed ever since, all you need is pool URL and a worker name.

Quote
- do I need a cold wallet? I have right now 2 wallets on Crypto and Shakepay, however I understood that more securely would be a cold wallet, so which one would be a good one to use?

Your mining payouts will be sent to whatever address to enter in the pool website, they don't know/care what address is that, which wallet to use is off-topic and should be taken to Wallets sections
