I found another thread that dealt with:

Socket connect failed: Connection refused

One suggestion was to start the machine with just one board hooked up.  I did that and it finally ran without rebooting.  I then tried each board independently.  It would run with each one.  I then noticed that the power cable to the PSU was quite hot. I found another one laying around that was heavier gauge.

Finally I hooked up all three boards again and crossed my fingers.  It started and no more rebooting.  It has been running now for the last 14 hours.  So far so good.

Startup problems with new Antminer D3

I purchased a new Antminer D3 on ebay.  I purchased a new Bitmain APW3++ PSU.  All power cables connected per Bitmain's manual.

When it starts the fan is at low speed.  After about 30 seconds it starts running at high speed.  The web interface only works when the fan is running at high speed.  It cycles from low to high speed about every 30-45 seconds.  The status page shows nothing in any of the fields.  The "normal" light and all the other lights on top of the Antminer are blank.  

The Overview page has the following under hardware version:  Socket connect failed: Connection refused

I have let it run cycling like this for over a half hour.  I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

This site is a total scam.  I ordered and wired money into their account for the purchase of one Antminer S9.  I did not receive a reply after the payment.  Their gmail address does not work.  The only way you can send them an email is through their site.  This email function now does not work.  I received a reply that said they were having technical issues with the site.

Many other threads on here and on other boards about their similar problems.  No one that I can find has actually received a server after ordering and wiring them money.

BUYER BEWARE!!

I am new to this board.  When I try to post in the Marketplace/Hardware section it won't post.  It just ends up in a draft. 

Any ideas??
