Way to go BITMAIN.
You sent me an S1 controller board instead of an S3. Unless there's something I need to do to get this working.
I got in to configure, and also updated the firmware to the latest you have posted. However on the status screen, it says the frequencies are 350 (like an S1, not 218.75 like it should be for an S3). It's reporting twice the number of ASICs, but half of them are x's. And hash speed is all 0.
Does anyone have any idea how to reprogram this so it'll work as an S3?? Or am I going to have to wait another 2 weeks while they send the RIGHT part for the unit that wasn't working right out of the box??
Another 2 weeks. Another diff. Sheesh.
At least my other 2 units are working reasonably well (although they're now hashing at around 220 GH/s - consistently. Well below what was promised.)
I suggest emailing them. In my own experience I have had great success with replies from Bitmain. They might even have a solution for your issues. So far so good with my S3s (got 8 with 3 more on the way) +2 S2s in my small but growing farm. They have been consistently reliable with shipping sometimes shipping before the promised date. Their support generally is good. Just a thought. Of course speaking about my own experience. That might not be the same for everyone else. Just speaking for myself here.
Oh, I've already emailed them. This post was more of a rant/call for help in case there is anyone there who has a suggestion. I won't hear from Bitmain until later tonight given the time difference.
And I supposed to other miner manufacturers their support could be considered good. However, my unit's network interface was dead right out of the box and unlike manufacturers of other high-end cost-sensitive and mission critical hardware, they do not have the option to advance ship the replacemnt, resulting in more downtime while waiting for the faulty part to get to them (I won't rehash that here any more, my opinion in earlier posts is well known).
I'm just a lot frustrated because it's more than 2 weeks now and this thing is still not earning for me.
I suspect the controller boards are quite similar (looks practically identical), so I am guessing it might just be a matter of changing configuration files. But I'm not that experienced yet with configuring miners, so I'd rather defer to more experienced forum members or Bitmain themselves if it's possible to just update some files and get it working without having to send it back AGAIN.
