No shipping for my Batch 1 order  Angry

2014-06-30 19:51:10.0

I'm getting ancy. I'm damaged due to my ride on the Black Arrow failboat.

Just got an alert from UPS that my S3's will be delivered on Tuesday.

Now I wonder when 112bit will ship the 1 I ordered from him.

still no ship for my 2 orders Sad Sad

payment confirm: 2014-06-30 19:42:03

payment confirm: 2014-06-30 20:58:49

My orders just hit the UPS track by shipping reference trick, bitmain site says unshipped still. Looks like they are shipping today and have just printed the labels!! Smiley

I cant even ssh into them (although maybe i`m using the wrong settings).  I assume its 192.168.1.99 root root and port 24?
Port 22 is default for SSH.

Do you have an IP scanner on-hand to scan the IP-range to see if you can locate it ? (Used to use SuperScan on Windows a while back, and Angry IP Scanner for Mac works well)

well, I still havent got my units up and running whatsoever.  Neither of them even connect to my router anymore. I`ve tried accessing them ,and all my webpage says is that its not available. I have a feeling the image of openwrt is currupted.  I cant even ssh into them (although maybe i`m using the wrong settings).  I assume its 192.168.1.99 root root and port 24?
First you need to find the ip they are on. Look at connected devices in router or jus nmap them

The router does not show them at all in attached devices.
I dont have my batch 1s yet to really troubleshoot but I think your best bet would be to hit the little reset button while they are on and make sure your router is on the 192.168.1 subnet

Edit seems ip conflict would def cause the problem. Wish I had hardware to troubleshoot Smiley.. bitmain need some news on when rest of batch 1 is shipping I feel like ups is gonna blackhole my ip

Unplug them both and plug 1 in... Then log in and change the wan ip to something other than .99
Then plug in the 2nd one and leave it or change it as well. If you plug in 2 without changing the ip addresses you'll have an ip conflict and both will be inaccessible.

Do you have dhcp enabled? set a static ip

Ahh, yes. I configured all my S3's as DHCP instead of static. Thanks ! I'll reconfigure in the morning !

Mine are a static IP but I still get the annoying beeps. I'm not there physically to troubleshoot but the missus reckons its real annoying.
PS: I have turned off the beep to false in miner configuration

I got today my S3. One is working fine but the other one was not hashing at all because it had frequency set to 350 MHz.
I tried to reset settings but same so I manually edit the "asic-freq" file and set it to 218MHz. After that it start hashing around 440GH/S but it show a strange status page with double number of ASICs but half are "x".

Using ssh I notice that cgminer binary is different on the 2 systems. I tried copy the binary from the "good" one to the "bad" one but it does not hash at all.

The "bad" one also show fan speed of 0 for chain #2 but visually both fans are spinning at high speed.

I hope this is just an old firmware of something like that. I guess it will be fixed when Bitmain will release a firmware update for S3 and after that I'll get consistent Miner Status results on both units.

Power usage at the wall for the "good" is 337W and for the "bad" one is 323W.



That screenshot is promising for the possible upgrade path for people with s1/s2's... Either you have control board from an s1 running your s3 (possibly a test that was shipped by accident, and clocked at 350mhz) or a s3 control board with s1 firmware... Very interesting!

EDIT: Reconfigured one as static IP, still beeps once on reboot. Oh well. Not going to complain too loudly. The one machine that was throwing more HW errors than the others finally ended up x'ing one of the chips in the asic status. Will disassemble and check the heatsinks and all that good stuff tomorrow.

EDIT: Minor annoyance, it would be nice if there was a way to disable the beeping entirely. Even the beep when it turns on. Causes wife-aggro something fierce when it beeps on reconnection to a server. I have disabled the option for beeping in the Miner Configuration menu.

You can. Under Miner Configuration "Beeper ringing". Change it from "true" to "false"


this reduces beeps to one each pool drop/switch.  So 1 is better then 20 non stop.  But in my case 0 would be better.

Tried that Sad Maybe it's not possible to disable certain types of beeps ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got 3 of 6 up and running. You guys doing diff 256 or 512 for these guys ?

One of the three I have up and running is throwing more HW errors compared to the rest. Stock clocks. Each running on it's own 750W+ power supply.

*shrugs* More troubleshooting tomorrow...

was any thermal grease or paste used to connect the chips to the heatsink?

'The right to privacy matters'
no problem  it can be psu's.  sometimes a psu can do 1.9 s-1's or s-3's   not 2 of them    so you get 1 x   btw I just downclocked my second s-3  I will screen shot then and leave them over nite.


will run these two overnite.. the 212.5 freq looks pretty good

~410 compared to ~440 on my other 2..so yeah it's suffering.

coincidentally, same machine, but the other blade, temp probes sits at 0..


okay first  switch your power setup around.  maybe just the bad  s-3 and the best psu


 do a gui reboot.  click system. click reboot then reboot via gui.  if not do the ssh and try the downclock,

Rebooting was the first things I did. I was thinking it might be the thermal paste thing some folks are saying have affected these blades.


if it does not go away switch around your power from the psus.

I just switched the cables around and so far it's good. I'm going to let it run a few and see what happens, thanks.
