Actually, the miners are plug-and-play.
Leave the one running and just connect the PSU's to the other miners (PSU's still off) then connect the link cables(s) between the miners.
A second or so apart turn ON all of the PSU's to the new miners in whatever order you want and watch the "advanced" Avalon GUI CGminer status tab. If the new miners don't automajikly show up in a minute or 2 restart CGminer from the GUI and it will find them.

One question before I break something...lol
I am planning to power down my first one and then connect the other 2, so should I power them up in order after that?
1st one connected to the controller.
2nd one after 3rd on after.
Thanks

Watch out, next you thing you know is that your PM folder is full of orders 
Whats the difference between the pretty ones that Canaan sells and the $35 amazon one?
Difference is that it has a heavy metal case with Canaan's logo on it. Metal case is much better at dissipating heat from the Pi and yes it does get warm. Check Amazon and you'll see metal Pi cases are around $30 and up. Other than that it of course also comes completely setup with the software pre-loaded on its micro-SD card.Yeah
I could build a rasp pi 3 with a case a card a power supply wires and sell for 75 to the usa I would make 10 bucks
or you could buy from canaan pay 100 last I looked still need a power supply and some wires.
dead solid case 13
https://www.amazon.com/Eleduino-Raspberry-Metal-Cooling-Black/dp/B012GPCLR6/ref=sr_1_2?
rasp pi 3 36
https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-A1-2GHz-64-bit-quad-core/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=sr_1_1?
micro card 8
https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory/dp/B004G605OA/ref=sr_1_5?_1_3?
so 57 vs 100
you still need a power supply
this does 2 11 bucks
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Output-Foldable-iPhone/dp/B06W59WT9M/ref=sr_1_2?
quality wires
anker 5 pack 13
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-5-Pack-PowerLine-Micro-USB/dp/B015XPQ5KK/ref=sr_1_2?
so 57 + 57 = 114 2 rasp pi 3 in really good cases and better micro sd card
plus 24 for wires and power supplies
and I am not going into business selling them it was a joke.

Hey guys, I just wanted to drop a question here for you vets with the 741 out there. Is there anyway to tune different voltage offsets for different ASICs on the same controller? I'm having a hard time with 1 of the ASICs as it is running 100% fan on -1 like every day its getting quite annoying.
-2 set fan minimum to 5%
There is nothing better then this.
buy a second controller clone the sdd card.
here is a cheap controller
https://www.amazon.com/Raspberry-Model-A1-2GHz-64-bit-quad-core/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=sr_1_1?
https://www.amazon.com/UTRO-Mount-Raspberry-Aluminum-Heatsinks/dp/B01GUQ5M8W/ref=sr_1_7?
if you want I would sell you a cloned sdd card
in fact I would help anyone that wants controllers

Canaan responded to my ticket with the same automated text that they only take BTC and no wire transfer. I'm in contact with Ebang to see if they are interested in a $10k order for E9 miners. Its funny, i've been trying to spend 10k for the last week on miner hardware and nobody wants my money
That is strange; they used to prefer bank over btc, I've always paid in btc and found Avalon to be one of the most reliable companies (up there with Spondoolies). I can only speculate why they are cutting wire transfers (especially if you're in the USA)—maybe issues with monetary fungibility in China, or perhaps a government bureau is making international wires difficult—but these are all guesses. I've read on their twitter recently that they were having an issue with a bank wire but I don't know that's related. Exchanging $10K into BTC may be tricky if you need it asap and you don't have established credit with a credible exchange like Coinbase, but it is probably doable some way or another. Even if you manage it get the amount in btc, it looks like you will still be waiting.
I wouldn't been so disappointed with Canaan if they had just simply told me (within a couple days of my purchase) that they were experiencing a huge influx of orders and that there may be a delay in fulfilling my order. Instead all we got was this pre-scripted comment about "Lily will handle this issue..."
Their whole 180% turn on bank transfers does not make any sense. I have 2 issues, like you mentioned exchanging 10k into BTC is not that easy for me, for the both exchanges I use and trust it would take me some time because I hit the daily limit so it doesnt make any sense. Secondly this is a b2b transfer, I don't want to go explaining to my accountant why I'm using my business account to change into BTC. I'm also sure I would go into the grey legal zone because BTC is simply not an official tender in my country. I know $10k is not the biggest order in the world but for gods sake its not like it's peanuts either. Add to that the standard automatic respons I get to tickets and I can only conclude that I have not so much confidence in their business practices.

Hi, thanks for your message. Once Steve is in the office he will handle this issue. He is in the office M-F 10Am-6pm Florida Time Zone UTC -5.
Thank you!
Lily han
reply to my trying to get the BTC payment info for the order I placed on the 8th. Now hopefully 'Steve' will complete the loop so the miner -- and replacement fan for a 721 -- start heading my way...Thank you!
Lily han
My order was on the 7th I beat the price increase and I am like 714 + 50 to ship = 764
today is the 15th I have not had a reply from them since 8/10 Maybe today as btc has dropped under 4000.
As Donald would say "sad so sad"
Note I like that line so I use it here as it applies very well for all of us waiting to hand over money to canaan.
Steve took care of my BTC addy, not sure if it matters, but whatever. Just glad I was able to pay for it while BTC was $$$

That's funny to me as I'm Steve in FL, I'll message them again and see if I get the same response

It's times like these that I miss the days of an Israeli–Swedish–American–Chinese competitive asic market (damn, three years seems like a decade in this corner of technology)
Amen to that! Miss the good 'ol days
My Avalon miner dont get above 36 degrees but 4800 RPM, is it possible to config the miner to set the degrees to 50 and lower the RPM for being less noisy?
Its not necessary to set the fan rate so high and temperature so low I think.

-2 and minimum fan at 5% is as quiet it will do.
