i think your PSU isnt enough to run S5 in  stock speed.
try to downclock to 300 or 250 Mhz.

The rated power of an S5 is 590 Watts and you have a 600W power supply. Without any further information, I'm guessing that the miner might want to pull more power during startup, but can't.

Also, going for a bigger power supply can be a more efficient option. As far as I know, the top efficiency is reached (for a PSU) when running at ~80% load. So if e.g. the maximum efficiency of a PSU is 80% at 80% load, it is optimal to operate here. Going above or below with consumption and you lose efficiency.

It's also barely rated for the output you need and at dismal efficiency for the application.

I just got my S5 miner in the mail, but i am unable to set it up.

I got a power supply but it does not seem to be working.
here are the psu specs -

Specification of HEC 600W TC-WK
Model   600TE-2WX
Type   ATX12V / EPS12V
Maximum Power   600W
Fans   120mm thermal fan
Main Connector   20+4Pin
+12V Rails   1
PCI-Express Connector   1 x 6+1 x 8
SATA Power Connector   4
SLI   Ready
Crossfire   Ready
Efficiency   Up to 80%
Input Voltage   AC 100-240V
Input Frequency Range   50-60Hz
Input Current   10A
Dimensions   150mm X 140mm X 86mm


this is what the Antminer manual says about power supply

"Each AntMiner S5 has four PCI-e connectors for +12V/15A DC STABLE input and all four are
required. Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board to prevent possible
damage and instability. S"


Ia the power supply the issue?

Thank you!


is this a single rail PSU?
Did you install the jumper?
