Topic: Chain cards do not work with Antminer S9i (Read 113 times)

My initial guess is that your Chain 6 has a dead/toasted chip probably in the first domain, if that is the case, this board is more likely beyond fixing, you might get lucky by flashing a different firmware (don't flash the latest once if you don't have a Sdcard to unload it later), but in general, you should just assume it's dead, to confirm this theory I need to see the complete kernel log or at least the part where it does the chip count, if you don't know where that is, copy everything.

Okay I got 2 images to show.  Some issue is your controller. Fan speeds are zero

also you are really pushing hard freq 743 is rocketship speed for the s9i

I also see zero info on temps.

So no info for temps
and no info for fans
on what looks like bitmain firmware means something  is wrong with the controller.

Let us know what your firmware is.
Maybe it allows for no fan speed and no temps, no bitmain firmware allows for this.

My guess is defective controller or firmware.
Also you are pushing the living shit out of your gear at freq 743.
 

When you do post the full logs be sure to use the code function on the toolbar. It is the # icon. That keeps the log from showing up as a massive wall of text.

The kernel logs are not complete you must post the whole kernel logs so that we can find the issue.

If you can't post the whole logs here due to your rank and limitation you can use this https://pastebin.com/ and paste the link here.

Anyway, can you try to check the cable physically, and maybe one of the PSU or the ribbon cable is not well attached?
If that's the case just unplug and plug it back and check if it is well-attached and try to run the miner again. Only do this if the NotATether suggestion doesn't work.

Here's the image you were trying to link:



Looks like it's not displaying one of your hashboards. In this thread, it's suggested that you should load a particular S9 autofreq firmware (specifically: Antminer-S9-all-201711171757-autofreq-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar.gz) for the miner to read the hashboard.

Use imgur or something similar and copy the bbcode (or just put the link here). Don't use your own img hosting site or some random sites that are not popular, people won't trust them and your link will be deemed as suspicious, just like above.

How do you post pictures, because they are blocked for posts by me?

Hello
I bought 4 Antminer S9i and in one of them chain card number 6 does not work.
The card starts (lights up) if you restart antimine but then it goes out.
Have updated firmwire several times, from latest to newest, reconnected the cables between chain cards but nothing helps.
in Web limit density, as shown, in GH / S (RT), abnormally high numbers are displayed much higher than the ideal ones.

Does anyone have an answer, what could be the problem and if someone else ended up in the same situation.
A solution is preferred because I doubt that the cash cards are wrong because it comes in gong; and lights up, during the restart of antminer.
