It could be shipping damage, except that the boxes arrived in perfect condition, not a scratch or ding to indicate rough handling.

I guess I will find out soon enough whether bitmaintech stands behind its products or not.

Its pretty bad that the cards are not held in by anything and the slots are very loose fitting Sad

I was lucky, after getting my cards reseated everything booted up. Its been running for almost 6 hours now and getting around 1% rejected. Will see if it will run throughout the night.

Also.. those vinyl straps on the box are an invitation for the ups guy to one arm huck the thing.

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!

What warranty...?...are you kidding... Wink

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

after restarting cgminer, check to see that cgminer is a running process. it's run in a screen session. screen -l to view available screen sessions.

There is, screen -list shows

Code:

There is a screen on:
	409.cgminer	(Detached)
1 Socket in /tmp/screens/S-root.

Not that I expected it to fix anything, I tried upgrading cgminer to 4.2.2a (the version compiled for S1) but it was overwritten on a reboot. I am considering trying to set up something with a 192.168.1.x subnet, just trying to work out how.

Dumb UPS. Last night routed my package from Alaska to Kentucky and I am in California. Delayed 1 extra day. Was ready to un-box today.

I live in Alaska and they arrive in Anchorage from China in the afternoon, then get sent to California, and back to Anchorage overnight, to be delivered to me the next day. I just received notification that there's been a flight delay and my latest S1 is in Anchorage and will be delayed. And I'm thinking why not just send it down here then and have it arrive tomorrow as expected, can't you read the address?

I have the exact same issue as you pal.. the bad thing is this would delay the original Friday delivery til Monday and not Saturday since UPS Worldwide Express Saver doesnt have a Saturday delivery.
I think the reason why they go to CA is for customs release.. UPS hub at Anchorage doesn't have customs release.. just a guess

That would be my guess too, and I was fearing a Monday delivery as well, but I've just checked and it's back on time. It's still in Anchorage and hasn't left for CA, so maybe they've just said "fuck customs"? Cheesy

Since so much freight comes in to Anchorage from Asia I'm surprised they don't have customs release here, but that's about the only reason I can think of to ship it down to CA.

I guess I got lucky, I opened it up to check out the boards and they were all intact and everything in place.

I used a US plug instead of the UK plug it shipped with, turned it on, and it beeped for a minute red light came on, fans spun up fast, then went to a green light and started hashing away.

Changed the IP address and pool info, but still having trouble with the password change.

guess ill wait until he releases the manual tomorrow.

I really feel bad for the people having trouble with this...its a true crime and shame.

Where are most of the people located who had their shipments come all banged up and damaged, just curious what part of the country or world you're in.

Some of the drivers don't care about whats in the box they are dropping at your doorstep, let alone what happens to it along the way.

I hope you get it all sorted out.

Good Luck!

did you change the ping address in /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh ?

I did, it wouldn't hash at all until I did that. I've changed it to my router IP and even removed it. Both result in the same behavior and it's overwritten on a reboot, of course.

after restarting cgminer, check to see that cgminer is a running process. it's run in a screen session. screen -l to view available screen sessions.

I cane believe they didnt put a bracket in between the boards for shipping....

So whats going to happen to those poor people who's packages are damaged in transit ? Do Bitmain insure their shipments or are the owners bad out of luck ? Ive got a batch 2 comming all the way to Australia so im extremely nervous...

I thought the 'hash for a while then stop and beep' issue might be power related so I removed a blade and started it back up. It ran for a while and started beeping again--so that doesn't seem to be the issue.

If you ssh in and type '/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh stop' followed by '/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh start', it starts right back up with mining. Is anyone using 192.168.1.x and having this issue? Or not using that subnet but also not having the issue?

Really frustrating to have a miner that only mines for a few minutes then stops and beeps.

did you change the ping address in /etc/init.d/cgminer.sh ?
