for me the beep occurs once every three hours right when the network switches to a new block.
I increased the difficulty from 256 to 512. It been 3 hours and no beep yet...

Several pages back when the B1 started arriving some investigation determined the random beeps occurs when there is a HW error.

I used a mac mini and terminal to ssh in .

windows use putty.. same as the s1 here is the hardest thing to remember:

vi /etc/config/asic-freq same spot as the s-1

Thank you, its the same as S1

Thats handy.

yeah I always forget it and have to search it out.

even though I am running these at my friends office and I will set them at freq 212.5 for his place.

I am now going to try setting them to 225 to see what I get.

and my miners run worse at 225 then at 212.5 . they hash with lower numbers and with more power drawn. I will go back to 212.5 in an hour or so.

Can anyone explain the below image?
Its from UPS tracking.

i think perhaps customs in your country do not accept import that and item must be return

The funny thing is 1 miner is Held in Warehouse of UPS and the other one gone to Indonasia.
Both of them is part of one order and shipped in the same tracking number.
Wonder how one miner gone to a different country when both are of same shipment tracking id.

I contacted UPS and they said the below status:
Exception: The number of packages does not match the invoice, waybill, or label. We're working to resolve this discrepancy.
Means one miner is lost in transit or not shipped / picked up. I already found the lost one went for vacation to Indonesia.
I order in the initial minutes of S3 Batch 1 sales opening. Hope bitmain will compensate for my earning loss and lost miner.

Looks like I paid extra so I could say I was part of Batch 1. Angry

Sane here, oh well live and learn. It took them almost 9 hours to process my payment so I'm assuming that's what pushed me to end of batch 1 aka batch 2, lol.

Yep, set it to false and it still beeps randomly.

I got the Beeping sorted
Removed the casing 5 screws each side
speaker/beeper on the top
open it with a sharp blade and pulled out the round steel thingy

no more beeps Grin

Oh gees lol. I wont be doing that.

Under the Processes tab: one of those processes must be telling it to beep. And here's what is send to cgminer:

cgminer --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:18:218.75:1106 -o USERNAME:PASSWORD --bitmain-nobeeper --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096

What is: --bitmain-checkn2diff
and --bitmain-hwerror

Maybe one of those is doing something related to beeping?

Mine are due to arrive Monday.
So what cut-off frequency have testers found for needing 2 pci-e vs 4 pci-e? Can you get by with 2 cables for frequencies 225 and 237 but need 4 cables for 250??

to all I am getting very good results with freq 212.5 if your gear is a lessor piece of gear try setting it at 212.5 down from stock 218.625

How do you get to the config file on these ones? I had the old S1, is it the same process?

I used a mac mini and terminal to ssh in .

windows use putty.. same as the s1 here is the hardest thing to remember:

vi /etc/config/asic-freq same spot as the s-1

I have very nice hash rates with the 212.5 freq

428 gh with 1 hw after 2 hours temps are 39 and 38

425gh with 2 hw after 3 hours temps are 38 and 39.

power used on a seasonic plat is 620-630 watts
for 853 has.

nice.

I am looking forward to more of these.

Interesting to checkout the real time connection screen:

One S3 is sending (UDP?) packets to:

tock9.usshc.com:123

ntp1.linuxhosted.ca:123

209.118.204.201:123

hydrogen.constant.com:123

Does any of this make sense?

Those are all port 123 which is NTP. How often is it contacting those addresses?

On a repeating basis, every 3 to 5 minutes.

Thanks for the heads up. Totally unaware of NTP till now.

2) On of my S3 miners has a temp of 0.

3) As a way to increase airflow, I removed the fan grills.

1) setting it to false lowers your beeps many less but still beeps. if you set it to false you get 1 beep for every hashing disconnect. not endless beeps.

2) does it hash correctly? do fans slow to under 1000 rpm

3) put those grills back fingers are important and these fans work very well for cooling this gear.

to all I am getting very good results with freq 212.5 if your gear is a lessor piece of gear try setting it at 212.5 down from stock 218.625

2) Yes and no.

3) Sorry as an engineer I go by hard data, not feel. Any grille will impede flow and its a given that you don't put your fingers in rotating machinery. Here is hard data the shows that grills reduce flow and increase noise:

NTP is for the time sync. Network Time Protocol. Why its going to ntp1.linuxhosted.ca:123 for time i dont know. Mine is set to openwrt.pool.ntp.org

I havent looked at the log tho.

openwrt.pool.ntp.org should be a round robin style dns pointer to the ntp servers selected by the openwrt people from the ntp.org pool list. you could use the default ntp.org pool if you prefer.
