If you are having the heat problem, the 1600W PSU from http://www.bitmaintech.com with a breakout board may perform better than the original S4 PSU, however, it also has performance temperature threshold as well. One easy solution be try to find a box fan and place it in front of your miners and increase the air movement and it may.

ERROR LED, you may unplug it, remove it from the S4 and place it in a cold place for a few hours, to make sure it is cold to the touch and try plugging it to the power cord and see if it works. (or let it sit in cold for a day unplugged and try again)

OK So got my PSU back after sending it to Serbia for repair (the only place in Europe) - cost a lot in postage Sad

Installed and got it working ok and worked fine for about a week then the same thing. Orange LED on and Red LED flashing on the back

Got back in touch with the service guys who says it is overheating protection - has been unusually hot in UK recently.

But they cannot tell me how to reset the PSU as against company policy.

Anyone know about this and how to reset the PSU?

Or is it possible to use the ones for sale on the antminer site by adapting the cable to take the older style connectors (not PCI)

thanks for any suggestions

OK thanks for the suggestions - will try what you suggest - but I was wondering if there was a reset button/mechanism that could be initiated to reset it after it tripped.

Bet there is but Antminer not letting on.

I'm in need of that Psu for my S4 but how do I order it with ring terminal ends and not the pcie connectors?

I was asking this question on another thread about this PSU - this is a reply I got

Quote

Is it possible to adapt this PSU to fit the older style S4?

Not with the PCI connectors but with the ones fitted with a nut and bolt?

Yes. BITMAIN AntMiner APW3-12-1600 PSU Series has its own separate power board to connect the PCI-E cables with S4 cables.

Named S4 Power_Board V1.0

but you still need minimum 210V

This board comes standard with the PSU - have picture of the board but cannot see how to insert it in this message.
Hope this helps

Unfortunately, this 80 Degrees C is the only option from the control panel.

Hi,
Is there any way that i can change temperature from 80 to 70 degree?

Please implement and adjustable setting for this with a max temp of 80 degrees.

Yes. Please do this.
Or tell us how to configure the cgminer internally.

Just had a storm and the power went out, the s4 was plugged into an 240v outlet.

When I plug the power cord in, before I even try to power on the miner, clicking starts to come out of the power supply, almost like morse code.

When I try to power it on, it comes on for a second, the fans start to spin then it powers off and starts to click again.

Any ideas?

What does the PSU indicator leds show when it's turning on?

Nothing, the LCD flashes on for a second and then it turns off

Normally with LCD flash or not showing I would say to check connections and sd card making sure its seated well - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203545769-Blank-LCD-Screen , https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203361315-Board-Diagnostics

But I have a feeling this is a psu problem. The clicking makes me think again think psu as none of mine click or make noise till I press the button that I know of.

Do you have it connected to a PDU or anything between power and it? Or directly connected to Receptacle?

I would look into those just to make sure nothing simple is causing it. But I have a feeling it sounds like a PSU problem. If you go through checking all of those I would then make a ticket over here - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us and see if they agree on PSU, and see about RMA on

Its connected directly to the receptacle

I was hoping there was something inbetween it could have been. But it's sounding like PSU might be gone if you already checked the connections. The clicking is not normal.

I would go open up a ticket and see if they think PSU might be dead/damaged as I'm thinking - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

So weird thing happened today, I changed the outlet to a 110v, and it still made the click noises but started up, albeit a bit stranglely. THe fans started, the lcd came on, then the fans stopped, came on for a bit more, then started when the main screen for the lcd showing the ip came up, however it's not hashing now.

@FUTURAMA,

What country or the area are you in? If in USA or some EU area, there may have a few OEM fans available for sale.

@BitmainWarranty

I don't currently live in United States, but if you have some fans for S4 Antminer for sale, I can buy them with BTC and send them to my mailbox in miami.

I suggest submit a ticket or email asking. They are very quick/good support team. - https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us Or shoot a email to - [email protected]

If they have OEM fans for sale I'm sure shipping to your Miami mailbox is not a problem.

If you are no longer in warranty, these fans have worked great for me. I've had 5 fans total go out on me in my S4's. I've replaced all 5 with the following fan and it works great:

That container it's in can be taken off of course before installing. Free Shipping... I've bought a total of 15 more of these fans for spares. I've thought about replacing all of the factory fans in my SP20's with these fans. They really are beasts. SERIOUSLY!!! Plus, they have the RPM's and CFM you need for the S4. Especially, in the Miami heat.
