Got both units today and happily hashing on defaults at 450Gh/s for each unit. No issues at all.

Thank you, Bitmain. I am a very happy customer.

my ups is always coming after 6:30pm here. 2 more units expected today as well.
450 at the pool or in web gui?

Has anyone figured out how to fix the seemingly random beep Huh

Everything seems to be functioning properly on my set of S3's, except for the random beep. I've seen breadcrumbs of others experiencing this issue and some novel band-aid repairs, but no serious fix yet.

Symptom:
Unit randomly sounds a single notification beep; similar to p.o.s.t beep when booting a desktop PC with a missing keyboard.

Issue:
Unknown.

Troubleshooting:
Reviewed and verified settings on unit.
Reviewed network settings.
Reviewed unit and network logs.
Flashed firmware.
Used traffic monitor for disconnect notification.

Resolution:
Unknown. A few (novel) band-aids have been offered, but no serious fix to date.

re beeps:
1. did you try to switch it off in web gui?
2. In my case(s) there is a perfect correlation between pool switching difficulty setting and a single "beep"

It's an open item...been some solutions itt but right now there is no magic 'stop beeping' button.

Wow it really looks like Bitmain dropped the ball on these.
ALL the S1's were rock solid and everybody got the same hash rate. Plus everyone could overclock if you so desired.

These S3's have hash rates all over the board. Some work right some dont.

My units are running at 440 GH right out of the box with stock clock.
Guess I was lucky, but luck shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Wonder if they will fix these problems or just keep pumping out defective units ?

Bob

No - S1's hashrate varied as all miners do.

The blue wire trick works same as on the S1's if you want to bring your temps down.

Still nothing from Bitmain on refunds.
Looks like they have abandoned updating the site as well...B3 is expected to ship 7/20 message is still present. S3 still reported as hashing at 478...etc.

C'mon Bitmain give us some info!!

I have a bit of a problem. Hoping someone can help, I'm fine with computers but have no clue when it comes to network addresses etc.

To start with, I couldn't change the routers subnet so I went through a direct PC connection. Logged into the Ant fine & changed to DCHP. The Ant still had 192.168.1.99/24 as the IPv4 address at that time.

Here's where I went wrong perhaps, I had to connect to the internet again to get details for my pool (having to disconnect from the Ants), and since then I haven't been able to re-login to the Antminers. I've tried resetting them and trying to find them via the router, but they are not there. Anyone have any idea what went wrong/how I can login to them again pls?

Download Advanced IP Scanner and run that. It should find your Ant.

Good advice, but if you do find the IP address is still .1.99 and you can't log into it try a factory reset and plug directly in again. I had a similar problem with my S1 when I first got it. Played around with the settings and couldn't even connect directly to my lappy. I could see it using IP scanner, but couldn't get to the login page because of the different subnet.

I just changed the IP on my miner after to suit my routers subnet (.0.99)

Now doing a factory reset on an S3, I'm a B3'er so I have no idea if this is possible. On the S1 there was a tiny button on the logic board. I'd press it, then turn off at the power supply about 5 seconds after, power back up and it would be back to factory settings.

Hope that helps

Thanks silverthorne, that was exactly the problem.

atledenin, Both Ants were still 192.168.1.99 but no matter how many times I reset the things I can't seem to log in as I did before. This is getting frustrating, even GPU mining felt easier than this lol

Do you have both miners running on the same network, at the same time? If so, try just doing one at a time to avoid any IP conflicts and change its IP before starting up the other.

Yes this may have been part of the initial problem, but I can't be sure. Certainly later when they were suddenly recognized again I found the software swapping between them so assigning separate IPs is essential. thx for your help

And just to re-state my prior post, I had issues with making certain changes through the web interface using Safari and ended up having a smoother experience using firefox and/or chrome (I tried both). Not entirely sure why Safari was having issues but it wasn't changing the IP when I was using Safari.

Also - make sure you are modifying the right 'adapter' (not the bridge)

thanks for your reply. Funnily enough I had just run that software, but Ants are not found :/ Which is weird because the lights are happily flashing away & I'm sure they're mining to Bitmain's account no problem over my network somehow.

my ip scanner reports ants as Paragon technologies

There is nothing icky about that. Looking up the manufacturer from a MAC address is often inaccurate, and on top of that it reports the manufacturer of the network interface controller on the device, not the manufacturer of the device.

Thanks so much everyone, it's all sorted now & hashing away happily.

To be honest I can't really say what was going wrong, but after about 7 or 8 resets something seemed to work again. I've now assigned them their own separate addresses on my network & I can now go to sleep!

Let's not repaint history: there was a lot of variablility in the S1 as well - hash rate, error rate, function of thermal management (fans didn't always rev up properly as the unit got hot).

They did say they had an issue with the DC/DC converter. To what extent I don't know. With that said, it's better they ship what they have and deal with giving some sort of % refund (which they already have offered) than to sit on the miners and tell us "next week" like other hardware companies do. They haven't opened B4 so one can assume they intend to fix the issue before opening sales again.

Yeah, they have an issue with the DC/DC converter all right: they are pushing it too hard to begin with (which is causing it to heat up) and are supplying insufficient cooling. As it heats up it gets more inefficient, and the current begins to drop. Eventually the part hits a temp which causes it to shutdown, cooldown, and fire back up.

Then they put a box on: hot air rises from the components/heatsinks below and mixes with the already hot air around the DC/DC where it is trapped due to insufficient airflow.

From the datasheet:

Note the line for natural convection, and how current begins to drop off as ambient temperature rises.

So opening them, putting a box fan behind them in a AC room, should help them alot being stable, and better OC performance if possible. right .?

Your chart is meaningless unless we know the devices current requirement.

Anyone using their S3 on P2Pool? I am mining on GHash right now and it makes me hate myself. If P2Pool worked for you guys, I'll switch them as soon as I get back.

use Eligius man

S3s are working great with P2Pool, here are 4 stock S3s running on a single address:
