Topic: ANTMINER S5: 1155GH(+OverClock Potential), In Stock $0.319/GH & 0.51W/GH - page 90. (Read 451266 times)

Here is a guide for PCB: https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204875015-How-to-diagnose-S5-hashing-PCB

I would use that first to make sure it looks good hardware wise.  It is not bad to check it anyways.

And here is a guide if it does seem to stick around 500-600 area after: https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203559969-My-S5-hashes-at-about-600GH-S

Please let us all know if that works for you!  Best of luck.

Well I was a away from home today and my internet went down.  When I got back home it was up and running and the miners were acting funky.  I powered them down and they all came back up right, but the S5 didn't.  I noticed I am stuck around 500 to 600.  I'm going to go through the steps, but anything upfront would be greatly appreciated.  Miner was running fine up to that point of the internet going down.  The second chain is completely dead.  Thanks in advance.

Bitmain do you have a holiday this days?

Ahhh we did not know you had the PDU.  If you have a nice PDU that is a great option as far as turning on/off. 

Most don't have this as a option.  But with that if you can get connected to your network via RDP or teamviewer, that should do the trick to tell pdu to turn on socket.

I have control of the PDU ports, I should be able to cycle them and restart.  If not I'll need to take a drive.

And how will you restart?

Thank you, I wound up just shutting them down via ssh, shutdown -h now worked fine.

Back when there was scheduled tasks one could put a hashmark before cgminer-monitor that ran every 3 minutes, save,  then send a halt command via ssh.  Without stopping with cgminer-monitor it would restart.  You might try /etc/init.d/minermonitor stop then ssh in and give a halt.  Then check if it starts heating.  Still you'd have a restart issue with linux shut down your ssh session would cease and not leave a reconnection. 

Living out in the hinterland I had been having internet loss problems some years back.  I put an X-10 device on the docsis cable modem and another on the first router.  On a linux system I have a program to ping my DNS every 5 minutes and test if the ping was good.  If not the x-10 would shut off power to the modem and router, time out a period then restart the modem, wait for its usual wakeup period then wakeup the router, wait for its usual wakeup period then test the ping again.  If left to the docsis modems own devices it sometimes would be down an hour mid-week early in the AM.  With this arrangement it's back up  much sooner.  But the internet losses have been much less frequent the last two years.

You may be able to run x-10 devices from a RPi or BBB.  I'm not sure the X-10 devices can handle miner current so you may have to run those to heavy duty relays.  Then when the halt command kills ssh connections and prevents reconnecting, you can ssh to the device controlling the X-10's, kill the power to the miners for as long as you need, then fire them up when ready.

A feature like that would be very nice, like you can do on the Spondoolies boxes.

Best be, call the data center you are hosting your miner and request them to power it off, then call them back when the internet is back on to power it on!!

Always, it's better than sorry. 

no i dont know of any way to turn off the miner completely from software.. just reboot.

you try to SSH into the miner, and do a shutdown -t now

i dunno if that will turn it off tho.. it might put it in a limbo state where you would have to power cycle the psu to get it back on.

You can use software such as M's Miner (Ant/SP) Monitor.  - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ms-miner-antsp-monitor-v52-alertsautomassscheduled-rebootmobile-miner-596178  It can do reboots.  But that is not totally what your looking for.

If you use some of the more advanced features you can set up in certain condition for it to reboot miner.  It will work a lot of the time.  But sometimes a miner does need the power shutdown via PSU to solve a problem.

I'm unsure what are you worried about overheat because of? If there is no internet I would think no hashing so very low heat.

Is there any way in software to shut the miner down?

I have some remote boxes that are going to be without internet for about 8 hours tomorrow, I don't want to have them overheat.

I thought there was instructions I could not remember the amount.  Knew it was not much since it's a non working part.   

On the way to customer I can see it having value as it's working then.  But a dead part does not carry much value, especially 100 dollars.

I'll go too and I will buy!

I am sure that you received the letter with same instructions :

Bitmain, Apr 7,

Hi

Please return the following item to the below address in Serbia.  Please mark each
value as $5 each as Dead Electronic Parts.

Please let us know the tracking number after you ship them.  You can use the
cheapest shipping method as long as there is a tracking number.

Sadly there is not a good solution.   It is a governmental issue, any legal company will send it through properly which means a vat.

Best solution I can think of for you and others like you is find a hosting center without a vat.  This is really only way.  Bitmain cannot change your laws.  It sucks for miners, but at least there are hosting center options.

the Italian Government and thief, we have the VAT to 22% and they want to bring to 23%, it means that we Italians are dead, because I have to pay a lot of money miner? I like the rest who have the same problem, I hate the Italian state and shit, and I do not share anything with him, so if I find a way to save bene.se for you no good I think so.

It seems like if they send them to the Europeans they will have to pay vat I would guess whether it be to a person or business.  Is that not correct?

I personally love having miners at home so I can understand you urge to have them.  But I think you might be better off looking for a hosting center with out a vat.   As no legitimate business will do anything to try to get around vat.  It sucks for those with vat but it's your country making that laws not bitmain.
