Received the miner, configured the pool but I get this on the dashboard

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4028

Not sure what to do now. I restarted the miner, rebooted the system but same thing.
Led blinks yellow and I can see that miner is ONLINE (but 0.0 H/s) on the top of the dashboard

Edit: After a while, miner goes offline with red led

edit: So I switched off and on the donation pool and it looks like it did the trick

What pool were you trying to connect too?

my miner is acting funny. not mining.
started from scratch, new sd card, new image, new etch.
it loads up, see it on the dashboard, starts mining then goes offline within 10 seconds
starts back up.
repeat. repeat.
this pops up.
Error: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4020
thoughts?

Do you see a Red LED when it does this?

I do yes. It seems to be in a cycle of restarting.

When it boots go set the fan speed manually to around 25% and see if it stops.

I received the PSU the other day and went to check on it after a few days of being used. The PSU is warm which is normal but the cable from PSU to the miner is warm too. i would say just 1/4 of length from PSU to miner is warm. I'm not sure if the cable is supposed to be warm?

When i had my other PSU plugged in the cable wasn't warm. So just want to double check on this.

Thats fine, that's just residual heat from the PCB being dumped back into the copper cables. You only have to worry if the black housing on the 6 Pin connector or the cables near it is super hot...this means some sort of bad electrical connection, and you should shutdown, unplug, and replug the connector and make sure its firmly in there.

It's an error in your pool setup. Are you trying to use a switching pool? If so, disable the donation pool.
If not, double check your pool setup.
Maybe....

Has anyone who ordered an Apollo+PSU on/after the middle of June gotten their shipping notification yet?

I recd my new PSU - thanks! But, I notice it only has one output plug whereas the Apollo has two plug receptacles. My off-the-shelf PSU had a cable with an extra head on the end and that worked fine. How should I plug in the new PSU to the Apollo unit?

Just plug it into the right port. Remember to never plug another PSU/PSU cable into the spare port, this will either blow up one of the PSUs or cause a fire.

Thanks! That worked. For clarity the "right" port is as viewed from the back. Maybe better noted as the VGA power port nearest the edge of the box?

Yea were working on "official" support docs that will have all this stuff clarified. Its does not really matter which, they are both electricaly connected the same, the right one is just closer to the mosfets.

What? your only supposed to plug in ONE PSU cable? Huh

the quick start guide says to "Plug in both 6 Pin PCIE power cables from your ATX or server power supply"

never mind I think I miss read that...

Yes thats for ATX power supplies. We designed our PSU to run with one cable because it has thicker wires, some ATX supplies come with really thin wires which can overheat them.

One minor miner issue: The first one I set up was working fine, but as I restarted the 3 units on the same PSU, that first one didn't have the amber LED at startup. Then I set up wifi, and restarted them again. It took a while for the green/red to start blinking. Now that unit has no front LED indication at all. Tried putting it back on wired ethernet, as well as reflashed the SD card for grins, but no change. Otherwise, it appears to be humming along just fine.

Q: Is there a connector that may have come loose, or could this be a harbinger of things to come for the board?

Thanks!

Just throwing this back out there since we're on a new page. Wondering if it is worth opening up.

Thats weird, you could try lifting the controller board a bit out of its socket and re-set it in there and make sure its seated in there well.

If its still not working just shoot me a PM, could just be a bad LED module that need to be replaced.

Is there a way to reset dashboard password on the box or I need to re=flash the image again on SD card? For some reason my password is not correct even thou i was able to access it before.

Unfortunately no, this is by design. You need to re-image the sd-card if you forget you password.

has anyone made any adjustments to the voltage or frequencies and wish to share them?
And also I seem to be getting a lot of HW Errors is this normal?
I'm fairly new at this so any input will be appreciated

Yes this is normal. The number of hardware errors does not really matter, just keep an eye on the HW % on the top box. Even the best units won’t have anything less than .5% errors. As long as it’s under 2% your fine.
