Wow, looks like Blokforge is trying to pull one over on us. Pricing hasn't changed for current batches, but tariffs are no longer included! When I purchased my 1041 a couple of months ago, tariffs were not a separate item tacked on after you go to checkout.
Just something to be aware of for those placing new orders.

Looks like August Batch is late. Haven't received tracking number yet. 
Received August batch today. Can confirm PSU mounted on unit. Ordered 1041, received 1047.
Firmware needs some work, couldn't access on windows 8 for some reason. Only allowed to enter 1 pool address. No instructions included.
Is there someone running the A1041 in bigger farms? How did you place them (arrangement with the PSU).
Must admit the design with separate PSUs really sucks and it's not easy to arrange them as dense as possible (mining in mining container, space is issue).

I got some of the first released that came with separate PSU's. Now they have the A1047 with integrated PSU.

Where are you guys getting these A10s from?

Anyone ever find out what causes the A1041 to sometimes reject logging into it?
After updating one of mine to the latest Firmware, using my main PC at work FireFox throws a "Connection was Reset" error when I try to get into the miner. Sometimes the Login screen will flash by and then the connection reset error. Miner IS happily hashing away as normal at Kanopool. Tried clearing cache, cookies, restarting browser - no go.
Using Chrome on same PC bring up the login screen but after entering the info it hangs on the black background screen of FMS.
BTW: I had this exact same problem when I first got the miner After wasting 1/2 a day trying to figure it out I set it aside and fired up my 2nd one. It and my 3rd one were zero problems. A day or 2 later I got back to the first A10 and -- was able to login in and setup just fine. worked ever since until this update.
Weird thing is that using a different PC to login miner #1 works fine... Rather makes me afraid to upgrade my other A1041's.

"254" could probably be more as the controller seems to just act as a passthrew, the issue is if any loose power the ones after that go out also as there is no connection to the switch for internet. If you have a smart switch with loop protection you can plug in both ends in and if one goes down you only loose that one.
It's running cgminer so it should work, worst case a few small things need to be changed on awesomeminer's end to make it fully work.
Canaan has a program called FMS it does an ehh job of watching them but with the few I have I just check pool side, I don't trust the software of new equipment and only trust what the pool says. That software is also used to update them.

Anyone has a clear update regarding how miners it's possible to daisy chain without issues?
Also, what do you use for management / monitoring? Awesome Miner is working for 1041?

One of the only issues I had with it was in turbo mode some of the PSU's didn't have the best time and gave over current warnings and shut down.
Another was during the update fms would say update failed while the miner itself took the update.

Back to the 1st A10 I got in that would not keep a stable network connection...
Was going to try and flash it to different FW but....
1) is same version as the other 2 A10's, and
2) It fired up just fine today and so far after several hours it's stable. No dropouts whatsoever and holding at 31+THs on the GUI in Normal mode.
Go fig....
Whatcha wanna bet that it barfs when I move it from my test bench to upstairs to replace 2 of the uc/uv'd 841's....

mine are still stable after 2 weeks. I think I got ones like yours with the trouble . As I needed to use some padding to prevent shorts.

Alright busy man... let us know when you have time to post some actual. Wondering if it actually takes 2089. That would be a game changer but highly skeptical.
As the OP who ran numbers and has read every post in this thread, him saying to read previous posts is suggested by me as well.

How much power is it taking?
That is covered by others earlier on in the thread if one bothers to read back a bit...Right now I'm busy with other things like getting the 1st batch one to play nice with my router.
How much power is it taking?
I scratched out too soon. The network connection port light on switch still is on for a sec or 2 and actually pulses like xfr'ing data then completely goes out for several seconds, another very short activity burst then connection gone again, repeat. Both Firefox and Chrome respond very slowly and often throw a page not found fault.
ever find the reason for the intermittency?
I'll fire up one of the 2 I got in today to check if this is endemic...
Meanwhile, putting the 2x 841's I took offline for the power slot back on until this is figured out.
Is not endemic.
Fired up one of the A10's that came in today and network connections work fine, both Chrome and Firefox respond quickly.
This miner is running version 19072902_b5ff440_c2a3a66 so I'll check the version number on the flaky one tomorrow.
I do see that the insulating grommets around the openings in the case for power are different style and color. On the flaky miner they are narrow and white nylon. The connection pads are slightly recessed below the edges of the grommet so when the cable lugs are tightened down the nylon grommet is being squeezed pretty tightly. On both the miners that came today the grommets are black nylon and have tabs covering the area under where the lugs will rest, also the connection pads are flush with the grommet so it is not being compressed.
Wonder if those differences are production batch/version related?
1st miner received (with flaky network), note the thin white grommets. I added the orange tape to prevent possible shorts.
that thin grommet results in VERY little clearance between the power lugs and case, ergo the tape I added
Later versions with much safer grommet providing tabs between the power lugs and case

I had a lot of lan appearing then not appearing issues then appearing. but my 2 have been stable for the last 15 days
