My S2 is working now!!

I noticed a chunk of glue(?) in the slot with the main card.  I removed it and reseated the card and now everything works!

I have some glue on mine too, but it didn't interfere, and there appears to be something under the glue as well. By the edge of the tab, it looks like its been partially cracked or added after the fact or something. The pictures didn't turn out great but you can at least see the glue on both sides. I'll take it out and snap another later tonight, but it works solidly so I'm going to ignore it for now.

As for the fragile sticker, the only thing on the box besides the tracking/shipping label is a big blue sticker with a black D on it. Which I'm guessing is for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORM-D that? but it just a D and nothing else.

Quick Q.  Did you guys who got B1 get a shipping notice from Bitmain or was it marked shipped on the website?  Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

If anyone is wondering, I'm seeing 10A @ 208V for two S2 units on my PDU.

What PDU are you using?

I got Satoshi's avatar!
Just received my lone S2. I can confirm that the straps on the box do nothing but entice the driver to sling it around 1-handedly as I watched the man grab it and bounce it off the 2-steps of his truck. The package is well worn around the edges for just 3-day trip and has nice rip into the side. Unboxing now. Bad note, I can hear things rolling around inside the box already. Sad
Do any of the deliveries have a fragile sticker on the box at all? It doesn't sound like they're being handled appropriately.

The two Ethernet lights on the outside of the S2 and the two on my router are always off, when it is powered on.

Do you mean the internal Ethernet cable that is attached to the main (middle) board?

8 of the 11 cards were not seated properly.   Shocked

However, after re-seating, there is still no display and no lights on my router from the Ethernet connection.

I've already done a second pass at re-seating, and the internal Ethernet and ribbon cable are connected fine...any other ideas?

Since the display isn't lit, does that suggest a power terminal isn't connected or that the main board is fried?   Huh

At least the fans make an impressive sound.   Cry



I got my S2 today.  

However, the display does not light up.  Although the fans do turn on and I can see red lights inside it.  

Also, the Ethernet is not detected by my router.

So the consensus is that I should open it up and see if anything needs to be reseated?  Will this void the warranty?

Thanks!
Volgon

Check that all cards and cables are seated properly. 

check lights on controller's ethernet port

Lot's of discards. Never seen this number so high an any ant (relative to hashrate)

Totally meant now not no. Sorry


Also. I'm not sure which board location coresponds to Chain 1, but its clearly running 7-9C hotter than the rest on my unit.

I think set it to shut-down when it reaches 80C... Guessing it can run up to 79C without any issues

Yeah, seeing how there's now an auto-shutdown at 80C option...but we've all been babying the S1s at 50C and under so *shrug* Its hodling at 60C for now. I'm sure my room will be a sauna later.

EDIT- type no>now

Finally up and running. Totally forgot about fish-eye on my GoPro so my pictures aren't great. Do have video of the full fan on first boot if I can slim the size down for upload.


The last thing keeping me from hashing was changing the DNS server from 192.168.1.1 to 8.8.8.8. The router here blows some PoS TimeWarner All in one rental, but its also set to the same Google Public DNS so I don't know why that was preventing me from hashing.

Other than that and reseating the whole thing to double check, I didn't have much problems. Though on reboot you have to wait for over a minute, due to protection in the PSU I'm pretty sure. Because I turned it off and 10s later it wouldn't turn back on till i unplugged and let it sit for a couple minutes.

My only question is what's the safe temperature of these things. Mine has settled at 60C over the last 15 minutes and appears to be holding steady.


The S2 is LOUD though...I don't recommend sleeping or generally being in the same room unless you like fan noise for ambiance.

Who wants to see the difference between the Bitmain BBB and the stock BBB?


{pics snipped}



Thanks 1l1l11ll1l,

the small differences make me think the S2 BBB is a chinese knockoff clone..

Noticed that too... must be knockoff version for sure

You guys realize that the BBB is an open source design right?

Yes...it is an open source...but Chinese engineering is giving it a "kick"...for sure... Wink

Reseated all the boards, and rerouted some of the wires and taped down the fan wires (they are a bit close to the boards for my taste). Booted up. First boot with full fans is LOUD. Just plugged in my settings and is rebooting now. I have some pictures and a video of the first Boot with full fans I can upload in a bit. I lack Kill-a-watt or a sound leveler so I can't help out with those.

The main fans are 4X 120x38mm though. They are Jiang Shan Lai (JSL) DC Brushless Model JDH1238B. 12V - 1A. 

Thanks for the info!

Thanks klondike_bar too!

I have most of my ants installed this: http://www.soselectronic.com/?str=371&artnum=69472&name=sunon-pmd1212pmb1-a-pmd1212pmb1-a-2-gn

No pwm, nothing, but rock solid. (And loud but for me doesn't matter)

I will start a solution discussion thread soon in the future for S2.

For now, if you guys experience dead or bad PSU, try and replace the jumper cable with another one.

- will update this post for more solutions -

Well holy hell.
In my off the shelf (non-Bitmain) BBB here at work, it fired right up once I loaded this.
