UUGH .... Now what ....

When I tracked my FedEx package ....

---------------------------------
Clearance Delay
Shipment requires importer's registration/identification number for clearance. (Examples include EIN, SSN, VAT, GST, RFC, etc.)
Recommended action:
Importer must provide the required registration/ identification number.
---------------------------------

Yet there is no button to push, no form to fill out, no option to fix.... nothing.

Not even an E-Mail from FedEx notifying me of a problem....

I called FedEx, I barely could understand the guy with his very heavy Indian accent, who said, after placing me on hold for 5 minutes... someone will call me back.

Well, that's nice.... WTF!

At least the S7's made it to Wisconsin .... they are sitting 60 miles from me.

It is strange that they did not call you. Typically, they do, so it is important to provide a phone # to bitmain at which you are always accessible, like a cell phone. You talk to DHS/customs, then they send you an importer form by email, you fill the form and send it back. Should take 24-48 hours total.

Any info on when gear will be available again? I'm ready to buy :-)

Should've used UPS if that's an option. I have never had an issue with all my bitmain orders using UPS.

Is there a way to disable mining but leave the fan running to cool the unit down?

I need to do some maintenance today, which will mean powering off my S7s briefly. With the glued on heat sinks I'm concerned about residual heat causing problems.

I've looked at the admin app, but there doesn't seem to be an option to disable mining like there is with Spondoolies products. I guess I could clear out the pool URLs, but that doesn't seem worth the effort.

I've done the firmware update, so it should be safe to pull the Ethernet cables and the fans should stay on. Maybe that bug fix can be used as a cool down technique.

Does anyone else out there do anything special when powering down your S7s, or do you just cut the power and hope for the best?

If I were to do what you ask I would power off fully and attach the fans to something like this

Ufo, have you tried m'sminermonitor? Everything at a glance, free. Nice to monitor 40 at a glance.
I like it because when a miner craps out it leaves all the stats for that miner frozen for you to check.

I use CryptoGlance, but I still have tabs open to keep track of them individually as well.

Ufo

Have to give cryptoglance a spin.
Does it ever crash? When I run multiminer for a few days/weeks it can crash.
M'sminermonitor has never crashed for me running 24/7.

Are there two or more units in your order? If so, the total dollar figure is probably high enough that it's been flagged in customs.

This happened to me with my second order of two units. I had to tell them what a miner was, and had to clarify that they are for personal use not business. This is true for me because it's a hobby.

They provided a form and detailed instructions. It was easy to fill out and email it to them. The process was actually much more efficient than I thought it would be. It was very irritating, but in the end it only added a few days of delay to the delivery.

I can't imagine the controller taking up even a fraction of what 1 fan draws, but I think it's good for redundancy (less points of failure, extra for back-up). Plus easier to manage/monitor, and takes up less network addresses if it's on a shared LAN.

Edit: each fan draws something like 2A or 24W, a BBB board draws up to 2W.

yeah once you pull the fan load out the controller is not doing much power draw.

but the wiring and monitoring is easy. and of course if you have the batch one firmware you can triple up and run nine boards.

0.0100% or less and you get close to the advertised hash
0.0300% or more and you get a lot less then the advertised hash

What cables did you link that I could use to run two s7's off of one controller? I am doing some housekeeping and that would clean up some of the wiring.

Thanks in advance!

Ufo

I have heard this many times, running 2 S7s on one controller. Other than the cost savings of 1 less ethernet cable which would be offset by the cost of new longer 18 pin cables; What is the reason/savings in doing something like this?

it also means less switches
if you have a 5 port ethernet switch 1 in 4 out you can run 8 s-7's instead of 4
if you have an 8 port ethernet switch 1 in 7 out you can run 14 s-7's instead of 7
if you have a 16 port ethernet switch 1 in 15 out you can run 30 s-7's instead of 15

so a guy that went big say 20 s-7's only needs one 16 port switch

he also has a lot of spare controllers 10 if he doubles up at 20 units.

and one last thing power saved due to 10 controllers not running.

Spare controllers since I have nine and plan on getting some more, also fewer tabs to monitor.
