Topic: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order - page 184. (Read 531298 times)

For now this info is enough you people are always here so i can always get your help to set it up lol , no worries for me on that issue.

Are you sure your not having power supply issues.  Reason I ask is since your on solar im wondering if there isn't a drop in voltage happening causing a spike in amperage.  Do you have any kind of device that monitors line voltage?  Could get one that monitors it 24/7 and records the data to pc. Maybe that will show something your missing.  I wonder what happens when the solar unit swaps from sun to grid under full load?

also another thought. Is this the same psu you have been using on this unit when the other two failed?  Could be that the psu is faulty in some way?

Yes,you won't need a switch then  

Do you know your network IP?? Like is it 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 ?? You may need to change the miner IP to work with your network.....you may not have to if it matches that 3rd number  

You can cross that bridge later when you get the miners.............

Read section 4:

What IP range do the S9's come with,anyone pipe up on this??

Of course.

So if the Ethernet router has 4 ports i can connect 4 Antminer's or what .

OK then somewhat i am clear so now i gotta buy ethernet cables as well to connect the miner's so thing's needed would be a psu and ethernet cables which i can connect to laptop ok then.

Just run a ethernet cable to where the miners will be & get a switch (like I linked to in my earlier post) & plug them into it like you would a PC,very easy.You don't have to connect anything to your laptop.

Then just open a browser (Internet Explorer,Firefox,Chrome,etc...) & type in the IP (in the address bar) that is on the miner for each of them to get into them  

You can save those pages as favorites so you can get back to them quickly  

As far as PSU's info,these guys can help with that,I no longer mine Bitcoin...I am a GPU miner once again  

and my ⅓ or 1 board s9 is down.

I will need to go over to the solar array today and figure out if it is dead  or can be brought back to life.

I have a d-link wireless n - 300 router , router has 4 ethernet ports does this mean i can connect four Antminer S9's through it.

So the connection will be like from grid- tie inverter , to Psu and then to Antminer S9 , and then to Ethernet ports and then to laptop isn't it .??

If you have a router/modem,all in one kinda thing with many ethernet ports,just run the ethernet cables & log in through your laptop via wifi & look for the IP address on the S9 in a browser.

If you only have 1 ethernet cable connection on your modem get a simple 4 port switch,not a router & plug all in & again log in via a browser page on your laptop with the IP's on the S9's

Ok i will ask for your guidance , when i get them , that would be the best way also i can see some manuals for Antminer S9 .

 

when is next batch coming? anybody has any idea on where are the re-stock coming>?

I think You will want to connect them to the Router that the computer uses to connect to the net and Yes probably 3, depends on how big the psu is(also 110 or 220(location))

How can i connect multiple Antminer S9's for example if i have three Antminer S9's how can i connect it to a single laptop with the help of psu do i need three seperate psu's for that please guide me how to connect 3 Antminer's to my system , from a grid - tie inverter.

bitmain will sell S9 after there stock on hashnest finish
they still have 627 on stock from 2100

BITMAIN,  When will there be a new S9?

No way to know,
follow this thread of BM on twitter and wait for an announcement. Be ready as the sale windows are small and usually go in hours seldom more than a day.

Hi Guys,

when is the next batch available for pre-order and how do i get messaged asap so i don't miss them??

Thanks

There is a second software it writes to the ASIC chains during the single-board-test process, that I believe is the actual hashing app itself. It is this sub software that I believe to be faulty, not the main PIC firmware. And the Bitmain software to correct this very issue doesn't seem to work. It's built in restore process either fails or is insufficient to repair whatever software damage occurred.

The file it tries to write to the hashboard mining chain is the "hash_s8_app.txt" file. However after failing for whatever reason it seems to be unable to flash properly in subsequent attempts. The red light won't blink at all if this software is kaput.

My units haven't been much above 100c, even at their highest. I don't believe in my case that it's a short and from other people that have had the similar post firmware update failure I wouldn't suspect a hardware issue in most cases.

Best idea is that without a functional hashing app, the board just sits idle, it won't draw much power unless it's actually hashing. All of the ASICs are essentially idling without anything to do.

The oldest autotune firmwares (<11/08) kept rerunning the restore process until it succeeded. Which to my mind they knew was a problem. Later firmwares run it a few times, then fail over to start mining with whatever boards passed the test. That would leave failed boards failed, but let the good boards continue running. At least in theory.

someone sell antminer S9 12.93 with power supply and cord cable by 1500$ ( Shipping inclusive )
12 months warranty
i asked him if this machine from BM in china he told me there are 2 company ( japan - Taiwan ) have permission from BM to make this machines and he working on Marketing department on the company on Osaka, japan
his facebook page

is that true ?

So, I got the pickit 3 and it's pretty straight forward to backup and restore the PIC firmware on these cards.  I've copyied the firmware from a working card to the "dead" card and the card still doesn't light up ;(.  The PIC controller seems fine, just not sure why the voltage isn't going through,  I highly suspect there to be a short circuit in one of the asic chains triggering some kind of protection mechanism, no idea which chip however ;(... also, one thing I forgot to mention is I let these run way too hot for a few days... > 130C, let's just say the temperature monitoring on these aren't the most accurate, and I notice thermal adhesive melted onto the asic pins.. the adhesive seems to be non-conductive though and I see the same signs on my two other hash boards, no other damage.  To be continued...
