It seems that the early S2 cases did not have the side PSU ventilation cutout found in the later batches and the small fan was meant to provide cooling for the PSU.

More than the psu itself, the PCI-ex cables i think

Perhaps

What's the function of the tiny fan on the front just below the LCD?

I am guessing that it could be disconnected completely without adverse effects and with some benefit to the apparent sound level but I haven't tried it.

I was looking around the net for photos of the early S2 machines and found this https://i.imgur.com/dlzBIYWl.png

ive not managed to get this monitor to work on my S1s at all - it 'finds' 3 out of 6 but shows no details/info at all.

just ? ? ?

Would you be able to post a screenshot in my ant monitor thread?  It seems this works out of the box for most users, but some it does not.

If you can get to it through your browser, you should be able to use this.  I tried to keep that in mind when designing it, however I may have overlooked something and I'm not able to test the functionality since all of mine are local.

anyone need coupons ?
5 S1 0.05 BTC coupon for 0.01 BTC each
5 S2 $400 coupon for 0.2 BTC each
no need to use escrow,
I will transfer the coupon first.

ok, send me 2 s1 coupons, I am not sure if I can use 2 in a single purchase, since now they make you buy 2 s1 at once.
if for some reason I can not use the 2 s1 coupons, I will return the unsed coupon.

Are you sure the coupons are 0.05 btc each and not 0.005 btc?

I just wanted to let you guys know that BitMain has an AWESOME warranty service here in the USA, and that this options is UNKNOWN to most of you!!!

Instead shipping your stuff back to China they've got a place in Conifer, Colorado!

When one of my Batch 1 S2 Miners went belly up because of a faulty Beagle board they actually shipped me a REPLACEMENT S2 !!! No deposit, no nothing!

When some of my S1 miners developed bad boards (only 2, out of 47) - same thing - USPS to Colorado and a replacement in a week, or so.

If you've got problems, or need some support contact them at 844-248-6246 or sushireview on Skype - this guy is AMAZING !!!

I have spent upward of 150+ BTC on bitcoin hardware, both with BitMain and Sushi, but Sushi will bend over backwards to make sure you are hashing asap !!!!
If you need AntMiners why not spend your money with Sushi and get a ton of loyalty and support in the process?

This post is not commercial in any way, it is just to let you know that there is an option for an AWESOME source of SUPPORT if any of your BitMain products has a problem!

That's all I've got!

I only make business with Sushi.... (From europe)

probably to coolthe PSU cables if anything - its not really pointed anywhere critical but at the PSU. (it might also balance the airflow that the psu exhausts)

No need to shill.  It's clearly a carrier issue.  All pictures show the case itself bent.  Unless you think they manufactured a bent case, the package had to be hit with enough force to go through box, padding and still be hard enough to bend a metal case.   Shocked

this - that is more damage than what an upside-down/sideways shipping box would ever cause.

that said, bitmain obviously needs to step up the standards a little bit if there are such rampant reports of damaged miners in shipment.

there is an very easy way to know if the miner and its packaging will survive transit (and prove it to your customers): Pack it up, tape the box shut, and then roll it off the top step of a large staircase. Do this on video and then film the unboxing. If the unit is banged up and cards came loose you have an issue, since UPS will treat it no better than you just did.

I'm 100% serious - really give the shipping box a hard shove so it gets some bounce. You have no idea how badly UPS and other couriers handle 'fragile' items. If the packaging is done right the unit should survive courier.

Seriously? How bad do you think it is?

How many S2's have they shipped vs the number of damaged miners recieved? Do you have the numbers, do we even know the scope of the number of shipped S2's? I imagine its a pretty big number.

I only ordered one personally, and it arrived problem free and has been running stable at 1100GH (overclocked) for weeks. But this thread is evidence that there are lots of units getting banged up, moreso by poor courier handling then poor workmanship. this means a better box/foam is needed generally, and i bet a lot of issues would be avoided
