Re: ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

Hello everyone!

Have a problem with S3! 8 miners knocked out of mining. All eight are connected to the Internet (yellow LED lights, blinking green); at 6 6 have two diodes constant light (red and green) at the same time, one S3 has a blinking connection diodes ONLY, and one is blinking green LED (+ connection).

Miners were overloaded (in the menu/OS adjust) then reinstalled on defult and then again regained their settings - nothing helped. Does not give any sign, only blinking ethernet connection.

Here are screens - work schedule (I dont understand what they show, maybe someone can!) and the status of the miners.

Can anyone tell what is the problem ?!

First thing would be to check if the PCI-e connectors all burned. Since they all stopped at the same time it *could* be possible you burned them all if you do not have proper surge protection.

Secondly did you power cycle them, along with the router? I have an issue where when one S1 bug out, sometimes all the S1s, from different PSU, connectors etc everything all lose local connection. To fix i have to restart the router.

Did you mean PCI-e connectors inside miner?

The PCI-e sockets. In the S3 there are 2 per board and they're the thing you plug in your PCI-e female(tube) connector into.

If you remove the shroud/cover it would be pretty obvious to notice if they have blackened. But you should be able to see just by looking at them with the PCI-e cables unconnected.
