Each Avalon 4 contains two hashing boards which are
in turn made up of 5 mini hashing boards to increase redundancy. An external controller is required, and can use a modified
WR703N router or a
Raspberry
Pi. A 4 pin interconnect wire, a 4 pin to micro USB adapter and a micro USB to USB cable is included in the package.
| Chips | 40x 28nm Avalon 4 A2322 |
| Hashrate | 1000GH |
| Rated Voltage | 12V |
| Rated Current | 50A |
| Power.Consumption | ~690W |
0b) What You Need (top)You will need a few accessories and a power supply to get started. I recommend buying the controller directly from Avalon as they will preflash it with the
correct firmware.

1) Powering (top)Avalon 4's do not come with a power supply, and you will need a typical computer PSU with 4xPCI-E 6 pin power connectors. All 4 PCI-E connectors are
required. We also need to tell the PSU to always be on, as there isn't a motherboard to do this. Cut a paper clip into a U and insert it into the green wire
and either black wire to the side of the green wire. Tape it up for safety. The power supply will now be controlled by its switch on the rear socket.
2) Cooling (top)Each module has its own 120mx38mm NMB-MAT7 4715KL-04W-B560mm fan that sucks air through the sealed case and out the back of the unit. Noise
levels are very reasonable even at 35C ambient and make a change from the Antminer S5 and SpondooliesTech SP20. Fan speeds are automatically
controlled although the user can override fan speeds.
3) Case (top)Avalon 4's are entirely enclosed in an anodised steel case. A shipped unit weighs 8.7kg and the shipping box measures 230mm x 235mm x 490mm while the
unit weights 8.0kg and measures 160mm x 165mm x 390mm.

4a) Configuration (TL-WR703N) (top)Connectivity has been updated to allow for up to 20 units to be daisy chained off one USB port.
Wiring:
- Plug one 4 pin cable connected from the 4 pin header on the unit to the micro USB adapter.
- Connect a micro USB to USB cable to the micro USB adapter, and then plug this into your controller.
- More units can be added by plugging another 4 pin cable from the second unit to the first unit's other 4 pin header.
- Plug in a network cable from the WR703N to your router, and power it on.
Configuration:
- Power on the power supply using its switch at the back.
- Make sure or your router's subnet is 0, ie 192.168.0.x. If not then change it to 0, this is just temporary. ***If this is not possible, see below***
- Using a browser, navigate to 192.168.0.100 - this goes to the WR703N's configuration page.
- Login using "root" as the username.
- Navigate to Network -> Interfaces -> WAN -> Edit.
- Change protocol to DHCP and click "Save & Apply".
- Using a browser, navigate to your router and find the IP it has assigned the WR703N and navigate to that IP.
- Navigate to the page Status -> Miner Configuration. Enter your pool information in the below format.
- Navigate to the page "Miner Status" to check mining has started.
- You can then change your router subnet back to whatever you are used to using.
Alternative Subnet Change:
- Unplug your computer from all internet sources.
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the WR703N to your computer.
- Navigate to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Change Adapter Settings.
- Right click on your ethernet adapter -> Properties.
- Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4" and click properties.
- Select "Use the following IP address" and enter the following:
- IP Address: 192.168.0.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.0.100.
- Plug in an ethernet cable from the WR703N to you router.
- Restart the configuration instructions as above.
