Topic: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain AntMiner S2 Setup [HD] - page 14. (Read 63120 times)

Thanks, no, no debris or visibly misaligned or loose pins. I even tried to vacuum with a small handheld-nothing. I am wondering whether to continue at 90% or send back the miner and lose a week (if all goes well). Phillip on the main S2 board suggested that it might not draw enough power somehow on slot 1. is this possible? I can check it, but as always, tough to do this when hashing is going on.

This is a different controller mechanism. Take a good luck inside the slot and see if you can see any debris or loose pins. Its unlikely but worth a shot.

Anybody can help with what I see on my S2 unit? To me it looks like one slot is dead, which is very strange. I tried to switch boards and it did not help, eliminating the board problem. What else could it be but the slot problem?
In additon-a silly question. Where did LOGOUT go on the web gui?
I also tried to reboot miner from the web gui and it did not work properly either, the machine got stuck, had to manually restart.
I wonder why what work so nicely in S1 is not working as well as it did before (rhetorical question).

sorry, should have been more clear, what I meant was Bitmain did not send me US 120V Plug, the power cord he sent me is a 220V plug, https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpudqeve8xpuffg/Photo%20May%2028%2C%208%2049%2056%20PM.jpg

Not sure on that, wasn't aware cables had a voltage rating? 10A is fine for one of those cables if they're rating 13A. It will be warm, but they're fine up to 60C.

Agreed. Also, looks like Bitmain sent me a 220V power plug, is it ok to use a standard computer power plug with this machine, on the cable it says UL 9vt e49100 60 deg C vw-1 3X18AWG, when I hold the cable and plug it's warm, it's drawing most likely around 10A.

Which is exactly why I asked the other two for screenshots Everyone thinks they put it in right, but different miners have different formating requirements.

Figured it out, looks like all 3 pool settings need to be put in with the http: prefix.

I just got my S2 but for some reason it's not hashing when I change the Pool Setting but When I reset the machine to original factory settings it starts hashing automatically with the factory pool settings, any idea why, I tried to set it up like the S1 but as soon as I change the pool setting it will not hash.

any help would be appreciated.

And the other one? And is that IP sensible for where you are at? Mine is 192.168.1.100 for example.

This is the network setting.

Still need to see a screenshot.

I have exact same problem as audiotex.  I configured antminer with DHCP so the gateway field doesn't populate.  I have everything running by Hash is at Zero.

I had a cable unhooked on the board that I hooked back up again after adjusting the blades.  I am not able to find anything that is not connected.

I am able to ping bitmain, so it should be going through the router.

Screenshot of the config page please, and of the network config page.

I recieved My S2 today and I was excited to get it running. I was very pleased with the speed of shipping, and intend to buy more however,,

as soon as I picked up the box I heard things moving around.

I opened the package, and removed the shroud and i found this




Looks like the screw on the right hand side went through the hole of the bracket and the blades came loose and jumbled around during shipment,,



so I removed the blades one by one.




I inspected each blade and all connections, and I found this on one blade


I put the S2 back together, hoping that even though the capacitor on that one blade is dented that it would still work,




I made sure all blades were seated properly, all connections were tight, and everything looked acceptable (except the one capacitor).

after being put 100% back together I connected the device to my network and turned it on.

It appeared to be normal, I navigated to 192.168.1.99 and logged in.

I entered my 3 pools, I changed the antminers gateway address to that of my router,

and left all other settings the same,, I have also upgraded the firmware sucessfully,,

however It doesnt mine, at all,, nothing,, on the miner status page all I see is this,



Any help would be much appreciated.

How should I proceed? I cannot seem to find any information online,

I have read the manual.

Please Help.

Personal question for Dogie. Who many miners are you running at home? You seem to have at least one of everything, lol. And since you need to keep up with questions regarding so many different machines, they must be in your home.

How are you coping with the heat, noise and electrical demands? One of your famous "how-to" threads with tips for home miners who are having problems with larger farms would be helpful. I'm sure you've dealt with many of these issues in your other threads but to have them in one place mighty be nice.

Cheers!

All of the PCI-E plugs are likely tied to the same planes so (theoretically anyways) the current draw should be equal across all of them.  One can check that they're soldered to the same planes by checking for continuity between plugs. 

Its impossible to know, my current clamp is broken. You also don't know that if you swap PCI-E cables about the loading will be the same.

I'm thinking of re-powering two or three  S2's with a mix of power supplies and  don't want to waste available amperage where it isn't needed. Of the the 5 pci-e connectors on the backplane, are they each equally power hungry or do only two or three of them really need most of the amperage? 

No problem, enjoy
