This will enable the DHCP server. You don't want this. Instead change the protocol type from Static IP to DHCP Client and save and apply the changes.
Thanks for the info. I thought that that option looked suspect. That's why I asked in my first post if there was a DHCP Client option. Thanks for confirming that there is.
If anyone is interested, I'll put together a quick starter guide for anyone who wants to switch from the default settings to a dynamic assigned IP setup...
I think that I'm all set. But given that the set up is confusing, I think that it would be generally helpful to other people to keep them from messing up their units.
What an odd choice for Bitmain to expose all of this router functionality. It's more like setting up a firewall than a miner. Instead of suppressing this complexity and providing a mining appliance (which I suspect most people are interested in), they've exposed a bunch of stuff that people don't need.
The sense that I have is that under the hood the two blades are Ethernet devices and front end is a router for them. So I guess people could build out large scale farms made of many blades under one or more routers. Maybe in that case it would make sense to enable a DHCP server for the blades. But if anyone was building out that kind of infrastructure, I assume they'd be using their own router or firewall, not the one that comes with the S3.
So again; exposing this functionality is just an unnecessary complication. But they were probably in a rush to ship, so UI refinements were probably pretty low on the priority list
btw,
is it safe, if the thermal paste is around the feet of the chip..
I was wondering the same thing.. thermal compound typically wont short out a connection, but it does have a small amount of capacitance I think depending on its formulation.
In my case the one PCB was swimming in the stuff, and the other side didnt even have full contact on a few of the chips. it was having a lot of hardware errors.

its still liquid, its best that we prevent something unwanted to be happened
even if we can RMA them, we'll lose several weeks only for sending and waiting them ship it back to us
we may ended up lose a full month just because of the delay caused by the custom clearing or whatever they call it
I've got my 2 S3's!
Can I run 2 of them off of one Seasonic 860 Plat?
Also, I guess I only need to plug in 2 PCI-E on each side?
I've got mine currently pointed at coincadence with all my little r-boxes. p2pool!

sure, its good too with seasonic 860w
and, u need to plug 1 on each side... no need to plug all 4 slot of PCI-E on S3
so 2 pcie for 1 S3
s3 already compatible with p2pool???

The whole WAN verses LAN setup is confusing. I guess the S3 is a router under the hood, instead of just a simple Ethernet endpoint.
I don't have my S3s yet and the manual is not very complete. Can you specify that the WAN connection is a DHCP client? I think that that would be selected under "Protocol" popup, which in the manual they show as "Static address".
Being able to use DHCP to specify the IP address would be helpful because initially I'll be setting these up at home, then moving them to a data center. It would be nice to just be able to just move these from LAN to LAN and have them work. I have access to both DHCP servers so I can configure static IPs in both LANs based on the S3's Ethernet MAC address.
The reason why I'm interested in all this rather than just waiting is because It's possible that the S3 units will arrive while I'm out of town. If that happens, I'm going to ask my son to set these up. I want to make the process as simple as possible, and DHCP will help with that.

Here is what it looks like, Very easy Just do not edit or change LAN:
Thanks!
So all you have to do is uncheck the "Disable DHCP for this interface" checkbox under the DHCP Server? Or does that option create a DHCP server (which would make no sense, but neither does the whole router thing).
That will enabled dhcp, but I would assign a static IP, not use DHCP. Even though lease times can be set to infinite where the lease will never expire, or get the MAC address and go into your router and have it assign the same IP , so then it is DCHP/Static
This will enable the DHCP server. You don't want this. Instead change the protocol type from Static IP to DHCP Client and save and apply the changes.

I am really worried as I was thinking to receive it this week.
Because next friday I am far of my country (switzerland) for more than 2 weeks and nobody to receive it : if it comes later than that I wont be able to receive it....
And the support is still answering generic answers with no detail except to wait.
Damn.

Have you ever imported something before? if not you need a clearance form. They will call you, its very simple to do.
Just when you think your out... They pull you back in....
I'm in the same situation. I personally think that the second clearance review is at the US Border. I find this normal and I'm not worried. Plus if you look at the top bar, it (at least for my package) says:
Bitcoin Miner Problems #257: Needing to take a crap and a shower, but can't, because you don't want to miss the doorbell, and not signing for the delivery.
Redneck engineering has fixed that for you - toilet on the front porch. So I need some help here peoples. I do fly in fly out work with a 3 week on roster. So im going to be away from home when the miners arrive. My girl is home but is absolutely computer illiterate. I have setup the power supply ready for when they arrive with labelling for which cables go where so she can just plug them in. But as far as setting it up goes would i be able to setup the miners remotely with teamviewer with another computer set up at home? Reading about the S1 seems the internet has to be disconnected and then connect the compter directly to the miner. Is this true with the s3 do you think?
Does anyone have any ideas how I could set up the miners remotely?
Thanks

If you put two NIC's in your PC you can preconfigure one to talk to the miner (with crossover cable) and leave the other one to connect to your network. Then all she has to do initially is power the miner and plug it into the crossover cable. You can then remote in and configure it. If you set the IP as the last bit of configuration, she can then just change the ethernet cable to put it on your main network.
Unfortunately I don't have another network card
Does your computer have wifi and a hardwired NIC you can do the same thing suggested here?
Nar I use one of my GPU rigs for a computer and that is wired directly into the router (well through a switch first)
I have set the missus up with printed screenshots etc of what she needs to do. Find out Monday how we go
Miners arrived early
yay. And guess what, the missus knew exactly what to do just as I had told her. Good girl.Am having an issue though. Im only hashing at 412GH with one and 420GH with the other. Really hope they can be overclocked safely longer term
If you overclock you will lose the warranty.
If the product is faulty you should contact bitmain.

i always set my miners to Static IP
coz, it'll burden my router if we handle it by DHCP
well, no money anymore to buy some hi-tech hardwares

Hi,
Has anyone had to clean their S3's due to the thermal paste or is it not a problem now?
Just asking as I am picking mine up from the UPS depot in 1 hour.

Change Static to DHCP but only after you enter your mining info or you will have to hunt for it depending how big your scope is.
Not a problem, because I can match the MAC address in the DHCP server leases. Also, since I plan to set these up in one LAN (at home) and move them to a data center (a different LAN), what I will do is specify the fixed IP for the units in both LAN's DHCP servers. This way I can just move them from one LAN to the other and they will have predictable IP addresses without needing to change the IPs in the S3s themselves.
For stuff like this, I prefer to use DHCP to dole out static IPs because it centralizes control over the IPs in the DHCP server rather than distributing the config across a bunch of machines. Just my administrative preference...
I either look at the DHCP leases or do an nmap on my local assignment range. Both take under a minute to do.
