and never thought something like this will happen
i wait the flashing done, for already hours, and no sign of successfull, and it keeps spinning (at attachment)
when i saw the machine
all of the antminer s3+ stop hashing, but the fan keep spinning, but no Network light, also no light at all at the back, i only see 1redlight from the back, behind the fan that spinning
©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©
so i test login to the antminer from network address(its address) also try login to default 192.168.1.99, but ALL cannot login
so i turn OFF 1machine, (while other 14machines i leave it that way)
and try turn it it ON,
but the machine only spin the fan for 2seconds, and the stop spinning

I know I've seen a auto reboot somewhere but cant seen to find it again, I have a S3 miner and wish to set up an auto reboot for when I'm out of town. what file do I change/edit to get this to happen? thanks for any help!.
Ok, I had read a lot about the AntMiner S3.
Here is my story.
I purchased three used AntMiner S3s. When I hooked up the first one, I realized that the previous owner had not reset them. Ok, no problem, I had also been reading up on the S3 and some people were saying that the reset didn't work. I went in changed settings, made it a static IP, and the miner would not work. I could log in, but none of the mining would work.
I went in to reset the interface (Network/Interface) and I clicked on delete bu accident. I lost all contact and just kicked myself for turning it into a brick.
Cursing to myself, I moved to the second one. Same problem as before, change network settings and it would not work. I go again to reset, but now I see a WAN and a LAN. So, somewhere I had left my brain on a table or something and I clicked on delete on WAN. DAMNIT! Lost access tot hat one, so, another brick. I move onto the third one, again, same settings and the miner would not work. I look online and find that someone had set it to dynamic and it worked. Tried that and BOOM! It worked!
Now, what does this have to do with anything? I have one working S3 and two bricks.
I had left the power attached to the other two in all of this. So, with nothing else to lose, I tried the reset button on both. I held it for about 15 to 20 seconds. Waited a few minutes and still nothing. On a hunch, because having been in IT for a few years, but been out of it for 6 years now, I decided to reboot. It has worked in other situations a long time ago, so I rebooted everything.
I now have three working S3's. Resetting them and waiting onwards of ten minutes restored everything. I was evean able to access them from the default IP address of 192.168.1.99.
So, if the reset does not work, why did it work for me?

Hello, accidently, i deleted the lan interface in the miner. I tried a reset but i can't connect...
I did reset to default via browser, ant3 panel and it try a few hours.
Than I did reset by clicking small button, like said in post nr 1.
Now I can't find ip of this antminer, guess it's the same vbut can't connect.
I use sniffer (i guess) to find ip deviaces and for other 2 ant3 miners I can find it.
In advance ty for any support.

This is an ass backwards guide for IP settings on your antminers. Don't follow OP's instructions. Do it the same way as the S1.
Its also really not S3 specific, the thread is just here to link to his group buy.
The thread is rather informative. IT'S an independent review, not a paid employee. Has noise figures also which many reviews leave out.
Anyone know what it means when both green and red lights are on? I'm trying to reset but the reset directions are not working. I was connected to Wifi and was trying to connect to another wifi. I deleted the wifi settings before switching the physical settings to ethernet. Now I can't access the miner through ethernet or Wifi.
Please Help!
Please Help!
Hello all, new to this..so here goes. Got a s3 all hooked up runs nice. I can access the miner via 192.168.0.8 as thats the subnet my cable modem uses. I have configured pools, can ping out of the miner but cannot connect to a pool. any help would be great and if i need to provide more info i will.

You can use an adapter 2xMolex-to-6pinPCI-E. 
Just like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Pin-Molex-to-6-Pin-PCI-E-Power-Adapter-12cm-New-/331294629159?pt=US_Power_Cables_Connectors&hash=item4d22b2dd27.
Sure, you should connect one native PCI-E power cable from your PCU and one "adaptered" power cable to each side of your S3.

how to check my cable is 12V or 5V
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/antminer-s3-discussion-and-support-thread-671189 post your question here , you get more understanding and help.
around 5v are The cable that connect to sata , cd rom , the peripherals
12v pciE with 8 pin plug , the cable with the 8 pin the other end is 6 pin .

im having Cosair 450W psu 2 piece. can i able to run one S3?
2 psu of 450w = 900w. Yes Made sure the cable connect from pcie psu is 12v. And not the 5v from the psu. Also check the cable if its is warm or too hot to touch
im having Cosair 450W psu 2 piece. can i able to run one S3?
I got my S3 today and connected it to Cosair 450W psu. I have jumped green and black wire and connected the pins to S3. It runs approximately for 1 minute, after 1 minute the miners fans goes to high speed and gets lowered and the miners switches off. Also psu goes off. Somebody have any idea what's the problem!
Try different PSU with more power.

I can't configure one of two antminers I received today. After connecting my laptop to it, adding an IP address in the same subnet I can ping it, but the web interface just refuses the connection and ssh-logins don't work with the default root/root combination.
What's wrong with this unit and how can it be fixed?

I just had the same problem. Couldn't log in using root/root. Turns out I just needed to change browser from chrome to firefox and I got in insantly.
