Thanks!

What i did: i first formatted the SD card with SD formatter. Then used diskpart to clean it intirely, using this tutorial https://www.[Suspicious link removed]s/www.windowscentral.com/how-clean-and-format-storage-drive-using-diskpart-windows-10%3famp

After that i could write the X10 file to the SD card succesfully. Put it in one of the baikals.....and tadaaaaa!! It's working again! Cheesy

Thanks for your help. Tomorrow i will do the same with the rest of the baikals and give an update when they are all on air.

great! when you formated sd card, which file allocation system did you use? fat32, ntfs or some other?

I am getting my x10 miners pretty soon. I want to know that is daisy Chain 2-3 these miners in possible or not. Right now I have Daisy Chained my Baikal X2 miners in 3 each and they are working like a charm.

update:

I changed my mind and took out the SD card. When connecting it to my computer, nothing happens. I do hear the 'pling', but
no screen opens and no extra directory appears. The sd card of one of the other machines however did open on my computer.
Only gave the message that he can't open the content, because it is a unknown file. This machine can be found on the computer,
but i can't get in the interface. I am now pretty sure that there is something wrong with the sd cards.

What can i do? Buy a few new sd cards. If i put the PiZero_GX10 file on there, downloaded from there website, will that maybe solve the problem?

when you insert the SDCARD to card read and pc, you will see a few file inside the SDCARD.
if you cannot see them:

SDCARD is corrupt or your card reader is out of order.

Try another SDCARD and check if you pc will see the files or not.

Thanks for your reply. I just tried to write the file to a (formatted) sd card , but i get error 5 in win32diskimager. Something about an error that occurs while writing data to the handle???

I tried to use another usb port. Als tried to use an other adapter for the sd card, but no luck still. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

use SDCARD FORMATTER software to format SDCARD.
then write the X10 image to SDCARD.
use 4 GB SDCARD. if your SDCARD is corrupt, win32disk software will show you error.
You must check SDCARD is OK or not and the same for card reader.
this problem is not related with Baikal. you must have some computer skills.

I rather not disassamble the miner because of the guarantee.
I tried to power on and off. Also switcht the power cords, but no success.
Have baikal monitor and also baikal scanner. On both they do not appear.
Lights on the baikal are blinking. Is there any other solution left, before
I have to contact the factory? I rather not sent them back for repair. I read
that this is a real time consuming problem.....

Hi,

I am pretty new in the mining world. From the Netherlands, so my English is a little poor perhaps.

This week we received 15 Baikal X10 miners. We already have L3's and Innosilicons running.
The interface for the Baikal is totally different, so i am having difficulty configuring that. But that is probably just practice and searching the internet. (however, tips are very welcome!)

But besides that, if have even a bigger problem. We now have 9 Baikals running. The other 6 i can't seem to find. I tried to look them up in Baikal scanner, and also in Advanced ip scanner, but no succes!

There is no reset buton on the miners. No sd slot. Only an USB slot and an other litte slot for some sort of connection cable. I read something about installing a new sd card image. Can i do this with usb aswell? There is no sd slot in the Baikal.

Again, 9 miners appeared perfectly when using ip scanner. But the other 6 are ghosts.....
I picked two of the ghost miners up and plugged them in at my own place, but also there they don't show up.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Please....

Francis

There is an SDCARD in the Baikal X10.
Just removethe cables and remove the screws.
You will see the OrangePi Zero.The SDCAD is located behind the CAT5 interface.
You cannot modify SDCARD image by using USB. USB is for the updating the MCU firmware for the boards.

-

Before doing anything, just power off the PSU and power ON it again.
You will find them on Baikal monitor. I use smart plugs to restart the Baikal miners.

Hi, im mining with x10 for 4 days.
My results:
http://xvg-mg.idcray.com / https://dgb-groestl.theblocksfactory.com/ Best pools
zpool for quark/mygr/qubit/skein bad
miningpoolhub not bad
nicehash is down Sad

suprnova same as miningpoolhub - maybe a little bit better
I have few questions
When I set fan speed bellow 48% Fan starts doing this - 30%.....1sec60%.......30%.......1sec60%. Every 10seconds fan goes to 60% for 1sec. Why ?
Temp is really good 20C, I wonder If its possible to overlock... ?

Use %25 fan speed on myriad groestl.
Use %50 fan speed on Quark or Qubit.

I saw the same problem on %30 - %40 fan speed.

Overclock isnt possible on Baikal X10 Miner.

i like this thread, i need your guidance on two issues:-

1. Do you think this psu can run two giant x10s?
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hxi-series-hx1200i-high-performance-atx-power-supply-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-psu

2. How and where can i modify fan speed as i am using skein only.

thank you.

If you dont use X11 algorithm, you can use this PSU. It should be OK.
You can modify fan speed on miner page of the Baikal GUI.

SGMINER OPTIONS
baikal-fan 25

Regarding PSU cables: You can use 6+2 pin PCI connectors.

Someone else have this issue:

I set the fan speed to 30%. Mining myrgroestl... the temp ist around 28 degrees, so it should be fine. Well... my problem is, the fan is speeding up every few minutes (or seconds) and goes back to the 30%. This spin-up noise is really annoying and I cant see any reason why its doing so. Hahsrate and all is not affected. Its only the fan which spins up and down.

Somebody else have this behavior?

Use %25 fan speed. It should be OK.
Dont use %30 fan speed. It is a problem. The fan cannot run at %30 fan speed correctly.

Quote from: Ironeinstein on December 15, 2017, 06:59:29 AM

I noticed this same issue at 30% fan speed. Doesn't happen at 20 or 50% fan.

Related question: is there a list of the sgminer options somewhere? Interested in using the auto fan control and temp cutoff, but the "gpu-xxx" options from the sgminer docs on GitHub don't seem to work.

Edit: looking for the custom baikal options for sgminer. The only two I've found are "baikal-fan" and "enable-nicehashsma"

There is no any other options for Baikal miner on SGMINER.
The Baikal Miners work at 80 c without any problem.
Just be sure there is fresh air in the place where you use the miners.

thank you.

If you log into the miner its on the same page where you set your pools. Towards the bottom. 1200 watts should be plenty as long as you aren't mining x11 aglo.

Thanks, it worked

regarding PSU, i dont plan to run x11
for this PSU i have question, can you look at picture of PSU and tell me how many Giant X10 i will be able to connect using available connectors in this PSU?
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hxi-series-hx1200i-high-performance-atx-power-supply-1200-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-psu

i see only 4 pci-e sockets. As far as i know x10 needs 6 sockets. Correct me if i am wrong.

When I restart my miner, after some days I cant reach him over the IP Adress he got.
He is still mining but I cant check and change something per remote because I even cant find the miner with the baikal ip software.
Somebody experiencing the same problem?

You guys changed the ip address to a fix one?

Many home routers have the ability for their DHCP server to assign an IP address to a device manually so that the device always gets the same IP. Maybe that would help?

You could also try ipconfig /flushdns and nbtstat -R then try ping baikal to see if the IP address has changed. Your router should also have a client list of all attached devices and their IP.

It happens sometimes on two of the machines. I use smart power plugs. When i realised it, I restart the miner via smart plug.
