Not the shipping story again...I thought we had this one month ago too...

I think I have every right to be upset with them for failing to deliver on the terms they advertised in huge print.

Remember that you also get ~130GH/s more for less than 5 days late? C'mon...

"less than 5 days late" remains to be seen.

I only meant to make one post about it.  I would have left it at that if I hadn't instantly received a "they never said that" argument.

So how many days were they late?

They shipped it out on 05-December.  I guess that makes the shipment 5 days late.  I wish it had been on-time, of course, but 5 days isn't too terrible really.

Indeed it does deliver ~130GH/s more than was advertised, so yeah, I'm satisfied.

Have you seen the underside of the controller board:


Neat! Now someone tell us what's with those signatures and what's with the numbers?

The numbers (hex) translates to:

I may have missed a character or two... some of the characters were hard to distinguish from the pics

That's what I got, pretty strange Smiley
Ok, it's the code that was inserted in the Bitcoin genesis block.

What does the red LED mean on the control board?

I just finally received my November Jupiter.  I opened it up and reattached the 3 loose heatsink fans, and unstuck the left intake fan (one of the blades was wedged somehow.)

I plugged it into an Antec 1200W power supply, and it starts up and appears to be mining normally, but the red LED on the control board is on (and the green LED is off).

Everything looks good in bertmod.  All DCDCs are operating and their output amps look right with no faults shown.  All cores are on.

...but the red LED is on.

I powered the whole thing off and back on again.  Same result.

Any insights?

So received my Nov Jupiter.

Can't connect to machine by either SSH or webpage.  It is assigned an IP address just can't connect. Even ping gets no response but not sure if the BBB is setup to respond to ping.

If I disconnect all 4 ASIC boards I can connect to the host and access web gui with no issues. 
Reconnect the ASIC boards, can't connect. 
Tried connecting just one ASIC board with same results.
Tried two different power supplies with the same results.

Anyone had anything like this or am I just SOL?

Maybe silly question but you didn't flash 0.99-tune onto it did you?

If not...

I'd get the RMA email done right away, you can always cancel it if you fix it, but at least get the ball rolling as it can take a day or two, then I'd go on the IRC channel and ask hno what he thinks

I didn't flash anything, it never worked from the first power on.   I did try reflashing the Nov 0.99e firmware but no change.  The one thing that makes the convinces it is just a bad controller is it does not save any setting after a reboot or power loss.  For example enable ssh, able to ssh in (w/ no ASICs connected), reboot, not able to ssh in, check gui and enable ssh is unchecked.

I went ahead an put in an RMA but I have a bad feeling KNC is going to make me ship the entire damn this back rather than just ship a new controller.

I just went through the same problem after i moved my Jupiter to another room and another network cable. Did 2 restarts and nothing, then i did a hard reset and still the same problem and then i just rebooted the router and changed the network port. Now it works. Try to play around with the router/network port if you didn't send it back already.

Thanks for the advice.
I gave it a go to no success, then powered it on with no boards attached and it detected the IP.. Weird!

When i then add the boards gradually it then freaks out and turns off.

Try one board, if it works with one then test the other ports on the KNC controller board with that one.

If it doesn't work, try another board till you find one that works, if none work then get an RMA.

Sounds proper.  I fear though that it may be another case like this one:

If the aforementioned hasn't worked for you, try popping off the cover and check that the network card inside is properly seated. I've found this to be the source of problems for more than a few others including one unit I resold that was working before shipment.
Cheers, where abouts is this located ?? Sorry, i am new to this.
It is located on the beaglebone at the back (or is it the front?) of the miner. Are you able to open the case? -a torx (star-shaped) screwdriver is needed. Just apply a bit of pressure to the card to assure it is sitting properly.



To clarify, the BeagleBone is the small black board in the center of the image.  It is mounted on the larger green KnC control board (the one with the KnC logo on it).  There is no separate network card.

What hashturbator suggests is to make sure the connection between the BeagleBone and the KnC control board is solid.

I'm disappointed they removed sockets 5 & 6 from the Nov Jups.  I was hoping to grab more refurbished RMA boards down the road.

Yeah, it would be nice to make these into 1th miners Smiley
