Notes

• Refers PSU power conversion efficiency of 93%

• Refers PSU power conversion efficiency of 93%

• Min condition: 25°C, min J/TH, typical hashrate
  Max condition: 40°C, max J/TH, max hashrate
  Refers PSU power conversion efficiency of 93%

• Caution: Wrong input voltage may probably cause server damaged

•  Typical condition: min reference power, typical DC input voltage
  Max condition: max reference power, min DC input voltage

• Min condition: 40°C, max J/TH, max hashrate,
  PSU output power should be no less than the min value to make sure mining stable. Typical condition: (typical power) = (min power)/90%, leave power output margin for PSU.
  Caution: It is strongly recommended that using typical power can make sure your server can work well. You can use one PSU to power multiple boards. Do not attempt to power one board with more than one PSU. All PCI‐E ports are required to plug in while powering up the board.

• Max condition: Fan is under max RPM(rotation per minute)

Note: Parameters above are the measured data of Dit3 server in the laboratory environment, which is for reference only, the actual data may differ.

Connecting the Power Supply

Ten PCI‐e connectors are located at the top of the DR3 server for connecting the PSU as follows:

• Nine PCI‐e connectors for the hash boards. Each hash board has 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:

1. Connect PSU power cable connectors to each of the three PCI‐e connectors on the top of the DR3 server, ensuring that each hash board is powered by the same PSU.

2. Connect a PSU power cable connector to the DR3 PCI‐e connector on the controller.

3. Connect the network cable to the ETH port.

4. To power up your DR3 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 IPReporter.zip is supported by Microsoft Windows only.

1. Go to the following site:
   https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm pid=00720160906053730999PVD2K0vz0693

2. Download the following file: IPReporter.zip

3. Extract the file.
   The default DHCP network protocol distributes IP addresses automatically.

4. Right‐click IPReporter.exe and run it as Administrator.

5. Select one of the following options:

   • Shelf, Step, Position – suitable for farm servers to mark the location of the servers.
   • Default – suitable for home servers.

6. Click Start
   

7. On the controller board, click the IP Report button. Hold it down until it beeps (about 5 seconds).
   
   The IP address will be displayed in a window on your computer screen.

8. In your web browser, enter the IP address provided.

9. Proceed to login using root for both the username and password.

10. In the Network section, you can assign a DHCP IP address (optional).

11. Click Save & Apply.
    

Configuring the Server

Setting Up the Pool

To configure the server:

1. Click General Settings.
   
   Note: Fan speed can be adjusted, but we recommend keeping the default setting.

2. Set the options according to the following table:
   Option| Description
   ---|---
   Pool URL| Enter the URL of your desired pool.

The DR3 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 DR3 server is with fixed frequency 400 MHz. Firmware will stop running when the Temp(PCB) reaches to 85°C , there will be an error message “Fatal Error: Temperature is too high l” shown in the bottom of kernel log page.
