@cryptostashman
See my reviews/guides for Avalon, they are not too hard to setup and operate.

Would definitely look into it. Thumbs up 👍.

What I do is:
burn a micro SD card
change your PC LAN connection to use 192.168.0.101 or any address on the 192.168.0.xxx range EXCEPT for .100
plug in the micro SD card and fire up the controller with it
on PC log into 192.168.0.100 and change pool and user settings to what you want
change from static to DHCP or set a different static address (I prefer DCHP)
Save and apply changes
Power off controller
remove SD card and plug back into card reader
read card and create an image file with the new setup
Then use that new file to burn cards for your other controllers

Plug sd cards into controllers and power up
Now being DHCP look for the controller on your router and log in to check miner operation

Thanks a lot for the details. Honestly, never had my hands on one but since being an IT guy, I would say it won't be that hard specially with your instructions.

As for temps, the Avalons have a few ways to deal with that. In the more options field you can use --avalon8-temp <nnn> to have them throttle back to hold at any temperature you want. I've ran mine up to 42C ambient temp without using that temp limiter with the miners reaching 105C and no problems.

Just refer to Hagss setup guide for the A8's and you should have no problems.

That's great, if it runs perfectly @42 it's perfect. I won't let the room temp reach it. Will have some swamp coolers to cool down the area. According to some basic designs, it won't. Unless I'm missing something. I really don't know how much heat will be created by the miners (don't know the calculations) but I think for an area of 90m^2, 2 to 3 swamp coolers with both cold and hot rooms fully isolated will do the job to keep the room cool during the summer where outside ambient temp is around 45c.
