GODDAM IT.

This is the THIRD time UPS has shafted me (every antminer ive ordered). Just like the last 2 times, I was home all day for the package and left a note in the lobby with a buzzer code and instructions to come to the 4th floor.

Just like before, its past 7pm (its actually 9:45PM today) before the tracking status changes from 'on truck for delivery' to 'first attempt made'. Its too late to schedule a will-call with UPS.

What can I do about this? Its obviously not Bitmain's fault, but im seriously pissed off that once again the UPS delivery truck decided to skip me and mark me as 'attempt made' when no such thing took place. UPS call center of course gives less than half of a f**k.

Delivery van just dropped off my units.

Very nice indeed to see 6-pin PCIe connectors on the units now !

Thanks again Bitmain and Sushi !



Loving this feature, makes it even easier for setup now Smiley

I literally plugged two 6-pin PCI connectors into my Antminer, and an ethernet cable and was good to go. No splicing needed for this model.

That's great news.  What about the jumper wire to between pin 16 and 17   on the ATX 24-PIN?

Thanks.

Well, you always have to jump the ATX 24-pin to turn the power supply on. That's not Antminer specific.

Got it.  Thanks.  STill waiting for my Ant.  I'm ready.

I got the power supply (CX750M) from bestbuy since 2 days ago.  Modular so less clutter as much as possible.  I already have an Ikea table that is going to be shared with my Litecoin miner (that is currently out of commission until my burnt-out 7970 graphics card RMA replacement come in).

looks great! I notice that between the 2nd(?) gen boards (first with the red/black terminals) and this, capacitors were added on pads C608/C609 in the image. Im just curious what these are for- related to the added PCI-e connector or not fully implemented at the time for some other form of current control?

Thank you for the picture!  I hope mine has it too.  I wonder if you still have to upgrade the firmware to  antMiner_openwrt20131212.bin?

I see a date of manufacture(?) there of 12/1/2013?

I think it is the 1/12/2013

Got mine too, no extender, but does come with 6-pin connectors.

Thanks sushi!!

So how does this work then.? Do we need to buy anything additional for it to work.?

The jumper wire is still needed to trick the PSU that it's connected to the motherboard.  As far as actual power to the S1 blades (the real computers doing the mining), just plug in the PCI-E 6-pin from your PSU.  One for each S1 blade.


That's really good news on the connectors.  I wasn't looking forward to cutting the wires.

hi everyone..

i got my first one delivered...
just to double check with you...  did you get the pci-e extender cable?

it's missing in mine Sad

Mine didn't, but mine has a 6pin PCI-e connector on each board. You sure yours hasn't got those too ?

Mine does also, going to see how this turns out...just got it literally 5 mins ago.

That would be awesome if my Ant is like that too!  No need to disassemble any PCI-E extension cable-ends.  My Ant is coming tomorrow per UPS...

Got my two units a few hours ago. Yet again, no mention of custom duty or VAT. Nice.

Really hoping there is no charge for me either. I have it being sent to a UPS mailbox and picking it up later. Not even sure what they'd do if there's a charge.
