what should I set the --auto-cutoff on my 4 module?

I had it set to 60 when I had 3 modules.


Thanks

Remains of thermal paste is not a problem. I doubt Bitsyncom use conductive in this case.
BTW. How much You pay for module ?

I ordered to modules last Friday for my B1 and my B2 Avalon's, the both arrived today, not bad as Monday was a holiday in Canada - Thanksgiving.

I have a question though, looking at one of the modules it looks like someone with dirty silicon hands touched the board side and left silicon on the ASIC chips and some of the components, will this be harmful to the board and its components or should I clean it?

Thanks

You should see some response unless the network your Avalon is plugged into is filtering everything, then you will have open port 80 on the LAN to your Avalon. You should take a laptop and go plug into the same network as your Avalon is on then confirm it's IP and confirm see what the external IP is by going to "what's my IP" in google. If the place where your Avalon is running isn't too complicated you should be able to use that IP (from the outside) to hit your Avalon, if it's setup different you may need to find out which external IP you need to come in on.

Not there at the moment, but I seem to recall the browser just said unable to connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, the port 22 forward worked fine so I just presumed it wasn't port 80

Now I know it is I'll try again in case I messed something up, or investigate further in case the router is not allowing forwarding on that port.

Thanks Smiley

One last thing to mention is ideally what you want to have is a Cisco business class or ASA firewall, something that allows you to VPN into your network, it's better than going this route with port forwarding stuff to the outside world. Something like an Cisco RV180 or an ASA5505

The choice is yours to make, as far as what's more safer? I would go the VPN route.

I have a question about pools on the Avalon.

Is it better to have multiple pools going on the Avalon or only focus on one pool at a time with failover enabled?

Thanks,

It does accept port 80, so create a rule on your firewall to port forward some external port to your Avalon on port 80. ie. incoming port -> TCP 37000 to 192.168.1.99 ->TCP 80, this way from the outside you will have to http://externalIP:37000/ to see the webpage on the Avalon.

Thanks that was the first thing I tried xxxx->80 and it didn't work but will give it another go.

I've just had to move my avalon off site and wondering the best way to remote monitor it.

I set up port forwarding on 22 to allow me to SSH into the machine, is there a way to view cgminer output like how on my jupiter I can do a screen -r.

Alternatively how do I access the main page that comes up if I connect to the ip on a local network (192.168.1.99/cgi-bin/luci/;stok=....) remotely, is it also done through port forwarding and if so what ports ?

Did they attach a current clamp to a DC wire?

can i use 2 original avalon power supply 750W for power one avalon 4 modules. if yes i need to buy only 2 power supply 1000W

I tried asking about this aswell. Seems like a few is able to do that. However, it seems as some PUS's shorts GROUND with 12v when they are powered off. So should one fail, it might for sure burn the entire unit (i have no idea if this "functionality" can be disabled easily).. It would be optimal for me aswell, to be able to use 2 cheap psu's instead of one incredible expensive one to add another module to the units.

thanks and problem resolv.

for security i buy 3 AKASA PC Venom Power 1000 W (AK-PA100AM01-EU)


just receive my new power supply but wont work.

when i start power supply i have a green and yellow led and some second later a green and red led in the avalon

how to resolv this

Red led indicates a psu fault. Your psu has the 6+2 pin pcie connectors. On some psus the 2 pin connector has a +12v wire instead of 2 gnd wires which is the style used on the avalon power distribution pcb. Just disconnect the 2 pin section from the avalon pcb and see if it will start up then.

ok i do this when i have little time today

EDIT  thanks aneutronic. now work fine

Are you sure you have ALL the proper cables connected into the PSU board in the unit? If not, you can be causing damage. Post a picture if possible of the wiring and the lights.

yes all cable connected. this is not my first avalon. i have one with corsair 1200w without problem.

Hey guys what's the best way to have my own internal pool?

I tried the Slush windows server but it kept saying the connection was 75ms when I connected my Avalons to it and kept getting rejects. When I tried the slush pool directly it gave me virtually no rejects.

My network has a decent 24 port Gbit switch and CAT6 cables which are new are used on all my devices, my Cisco firewall has Gbit ports as well. The only thing I can think of is that the windows server doesn't fully work, so what are the alternatives and is there something I run in VMware? (I uses ESXi 5.x)

Thanks


You can't use that with the asics because you have to use a stratum server rather than getwork.  The old miners do not poll fast enough so you are still working on old blocks and you get those errors.  As far as I know there is no Windows implementation and the CGminer developer advised against it.  There are implementations on Linux using eloipool software installed locally.  There is a long thread about it.

Are you referring to this thread?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-eloipool-fast-python3-pool-server-software-gbtstratumdyntargetproxy-61731

So this eloipool will allow me to use my ASIC miners to use stratum?

This is what I was trying before:
