Q: I dont see any video on my HDMI monitor
A: Your monitor needs to be powered on and HDMI plugged into your Apollo BEFORE powering on your Apollo. The Apollo will not recognize your monitor if its powered on before the monitor or HDMI cable is plugged in. If this does not work double check your input on the monitor is in the correct HDMI port. Please be aware that not all monitors will work with the Apollo (odd sized monitors, really high resolution tvs etc).

I received my Apollo II. I connect to my monitor (I've tried 2 different ones now) made sure the monitor was on and connected properly. The Apollo II fan comes on and runs at very high speed indefinitely. I've let it run almost 20 minutes. No lights on the front of the Apollo. What next?

What mode were you running in? Eco, Balanced or Turbo?

Yes, go to Pools in the left hand menu. Add info and hit the + sign. You can change the order with the arrows, top one is primary.

What is the status of balanced and turbo modes? Is it safe to run in those yet? I was hoping to throw more heat!!

Make sure it's not a capitalization issue. For some reason when I saved my username it removed the capitalization and that mattered.

I have my fan set to auto

it's running in a room that's 10c

Thanks, it's in dhcp mode. I did get it to work after multiple reboots of all hardware involved but oddly my network map is only showing one. I can see they are both online and working at the moment I'll continue to monitor.

I'm using a wired connection only. I haven't tried wireless yet. I haven't been able to get both working at the same time though.

Thanks all for the help, here's an update....

After hours of trying and failing I gave up. Miners sat turned off for over 48 hours as I was out of town. Came home and powered one up and it worked. No idea why. Got the second one working too. I did nothing different. I'm stumped but happy they are working. At the moment I can only get one to run at a time as they're interfering with each other on the network. I'll work on that next.

I figured out what I was doing wrong with checksum, I was using MD5 instead of SHA256. The checksum on the IMG matches. I've tried to create an ISO on the micro SD using Etcher but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried on a sandisk 8gb and a Kingston 16gb with no luck. There doesn't seem to be any settings in Etcher to change. I read that I have to make sure the image is on the whole disk not sure how to do that.

Thanks for the response.

I ran the checksum with command prompt, yes it's plugged in via Ethernet but it's not being assigned an IP by my network. Anything else I plug into the ethernet is immediately assigned an IP.

I've been unable to get the apollo to boot. I ran a checksum on the image I downloaded and it doesn't match. I've re-downloaded twice and neither matches. Anyone have advice? I'm using a windows 10 pc and downloaded using both chrome and edge.

Thank you all for the help. I'll order the jumper. For now I'm just using my old pc. Now I'm working on getting it to boot, I'm guessing I'm not flashing the image properly as when I power up it just flashes yellow. Going to try a different brand of SD card.

I have a brand new Seasonic Prime Platnum 650w PSU. I'm getting no power to the Apollo. I tested the PSU on an old computer and it powered it.
The PSU has PCI-E cables with 6 pins then 2 separate pins, I plugged the 6 pins in and the 2 are just dangling. Do I need a different cable?


UPDATE: it seems the Apollo doesn't draw any power to start, so the PSU doesn't supply any. I tricked the PSU into supplying power by connecting it to another device, started it up and it's providing power to the Apollo. If I shut off the other device (old computer) the PSU cut's power to the Apollo too though.

Is this normal?
