Is that the miner with a Beaglebone board? it should have an SD card slot inside what I heard before is that you need to reimage the Beaglebone board in order to do that you will need the SD card firmware from Bitmain which is still available on their download page.

Here's the direct link https://file12.bitmain.com/shop-product/firmware/Tools%20and%20Instructions%20to%20Image%20SD%20card.zip

The tools and the firmware is already on that file just extract them you will need an SD card reader to burn the img file to your SD card use the diskimager to burn it to your SD card.

You can follow the guide here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15218516
It's s7 but the guide should be also working on s5 after you flash it and upgrade it through WebGUI with the latest firmware available on Bitmain.

I somehow bricked my S5 by trying to load in a fan speed control update via the traditional upgrade screen.  Upon reboot the device just kicks in the fans at max speed and never boots the o/s.  Is there any way to get back into the device via a SD connection or other on board connector to load back the proper boot file? I don't see any common SD slot or connector unless I am missing it.  Thanks
