Have two issues.

1) Can only set one pool.

2) All but 1 of my units have stopped working after trying to change the the miner settings. I have tried setting eco, balanced and even advanced with power from min to 45%. Only  One unit will work when I make these changes but the rest will not function at all. Even the main controller will not function with no unit connected and shows the default config with default pool.
 
Update: I was able to now get some units working again by connecting each one to the USB 1 port and booting the units individually. All but 1 of the units are now working. I will try connect the still bad unit to a PI and run it on its own.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Start them up and leave them be for 10-15 minutes. They will start up eventually. As long as you see the front LED start flashing slowly it will show up in the dashboard.

Solid RED led after startup and one flashing green led on the board, on the last unit that will not run, seems to be bricked.

If I connect this unit to the full unit/controller nothing loads on the miner page and the page defaults back to original default page, shows slushpool, no stats load.


Ok if it does not start flashing at all when you do stop or restart on the miner dashboard then that means the system does not see it at all. Shoot an email to us by replying to your order email and well go over some other troubleshooting steps.

I just received the full unit with power and a standard unit with power -- i'm having this exact issue and could really use help.  The full unit with power started up with Red LED flashing, and showed up quickly on the dashboard, no issues.  When i started up the standard unit with its own power source, the red LED light never flashed, it only came on solid, and the fan never started up.  On the back side, there's a solid red light and one green small flashing light, but there's no fan going and it never appeared on the dashboard.  I am not at all (at ALL) technically savvy, and i'm afraid to do anything with this standard unit over concerns of interrupting or killing the main unit that is working .  If ya'll have any advice or could provide specific action steps I would greatly appreciate it!  Thank you!
