BITMAIN S9 AntMiner Bitcoin Miner
Overview
The S9 server is Bitmain’s newest version in the S9 server series. It boasts a state‐of‐the‐art BM1387 custom‐made chip using 16nm technology. All S9 servers are tested and configured prior to shipping to ensure easy set up.
You must provide your own ATX power supply.

The server does not contain a DC/DC converter; therefore, higher input voltage will cause higher Mining efficiency .
2. Connecting the Power Supply
Ten PCI‐e connectors are located at the top of the S9 server for connecting the PSU as follows:
● Nine PCI‐e connectors for the hash boards. Each hash board has a set of
three PCI‐e connectors.
● One PCI‐e connector located on the controller.
Each hashboard must be powered by the same PSU to prevent possible damage and instability.
To connect the power supply:
-
Connect PSU power cable connectors to each of the nine PCI‐e connectors onthetopofthe S9 server,ensuring that each hash board is powered by the same PSU.
-
Connect a PSU power cable connector to the S9 PCI‐e connector on the controller.
-
Connect the network cable to the ETH port.
-
To power up your S9 server, connect the PSUs to the power wall outlet.
If you are using more than one PSU,power up the PSU connected to the
controller AFTER you have Powered up the other PSU(s).
Setting Up the Server
To set up the server:
The file IP Reporter.zip is supported by Microsoft Windows only.
-

To configure the server:
- Click General Settings.
- Set the options according to the following table:
Option| Description
---|---
Pool URL| Enter the URL of your desired pool.
The S9 server can be set up with three mining pools, with decreasing priority from the first pool (pool 1) to the third pool (pool 3).
The pools with low priority will only be used if all higher priority pools are offline.
Worker| Your worker ID on the selected pool.
Password| The password for your selected worker.
3. Click Save & Apply to save and restart the server.
Monitoring Your Server
To check the operating status of your server:
1. Click the status marked below.
2. Monitor your server according to the descriptions in the following table:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| ASIC# | Number of chips detected in the chain. |
| Frequency | ASIC frequency setting. |
| GH/S(RT) | Hash rate of each hash board ( GH/s) |
| Temp(PCB) | Temperature of each hash board (°C).(Applied only to server with |
fixed frequency)
Temp(Chip)| Temperature of the chips on each hash board (°C).
ASIC status| One of the following statuses will appear:
● O ‐ indicates OK
● X ‐ indicates error
● ‐ ‐ indicates dead
Note : The S9 server is with automatic frequency adjustment. Firmware will stop running when t he Temp(chips) reaches to 125-135 ·c , there will be an error message “Fatal Error: Temperature is too high!” shown in the bottom of kernel log page.
Administering Your Server
