Hello, gonna try to keep this simple as far as where i started and where i'm at now. Below are the steps I have done.

----

Antminer S9 Batch 3, not sure if it works.

PSU = EVGA G2 1600W, it works.

Standard CAT5e Cable, it works.

I plug in the 9+1 power cables and the ethernet cable directly from router to miner.

Turn it on, I get an immediate Fault light (red), fans spin full speed and they stay at that RPM.

No LEDs from the hash boards (from all 3)

The ethernet controller ORANGE LED blinks, but the GREEN LED does not stay lit, it does blink every now and then.

I check my router settings to see what connections my router is seeing. It only sees my computer connected, nothing else.

I attempted to "reset" the miner, I hold the reset button for 5 seconds.... 15 seconds.... 30 seconds.... 45 seconds.... and nothing. Nothing happens.

I sent a PM to Phil* for some advice, He informed me to drop all connections from my router and only connect my computer. (In hopes that maybe the miner is being assigned to a duplicate IP that is already connected to my router). I did this, checked router settings and made sure that its only seeing my desktop computer connected.

Turn on the miner, and no new connection shows up, seems to be getting no connection.

Is there any other way for me to factory reset this miner or is it possible for the ethernet controller to be fault? OR if for some reason its set under a static IP for me to find it out via software or something.

If it is finding the IP you can try with Bitmain's IPReporter. I really like just going into router and finding it that way myself as if you know your router it is not bad, but some have good results with Bitmains IPReporter. Check out page 9 on official instruction's - https://www.bitmaintech.com/files/download/AntMiner%20S9%20Installation%20Guide.pdf

I would focus on trying to find IP first before going after reset. But if you have to reset below is how they say to (I have not personally reset a S9 so all direct from manual in quotes as Bitmains words I take no credit)

"To restore your initial settings
1. Turn on the miner and let it run for 5 minutes.
2. On the controller front panel, press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds.

Resetting your miner will reboot it and restore its default settings. The red LED will automatically
flash once every 15 seconds if the reset is operated successfully."

But to recap I would try again on finding IP. Focus on that first as you should not have to do a reset when you receive it new (assuming not 2nd hand).

Already tried all of this. IPReporter does not work. Reset button does not work.

*And also looked in my router settings after unplugging everything from it except my main computer and it shows no new connection to my router. Only my computer shows up, nothing else.
