Chapter 8 Trouble Shooting

Boot Failure

Failures
The fan of the miner does not work or the light indicator does not light up.

• Possible root cause
•  The fan cable comes loose;
•  The cable of the power supply with the control board disconnected;
•  The AC power input disconnected;
• The power module has a fault;
• The control board has a fault;
• The power output is short-circuit protected.

Troubleshooting guide

•  Power on the miner and plug in the network cable connected to the switch (or router).
• Check whether the link light of the network port is flashing. If the light of the network port is off, it means that the MM control panel is out of power. Then It is necessary to check whether the power cable is connected, replace the power supply, or check whether there is a short circuit of the power output.
• If the mesh light is on, but the LED light on the MM control panel is off, then the MM control panel needs to be replaced.
• If the LED on the MM board is on but the fan doesn’t work, please check the fan cable or replace the fan.

Cannot Mine

Failures

• The mining pool cannot be connected for a long time (more than 5 minutes) after booting up (the miner lights up a yellow for a long time, does not turn green, and has no hash rate).
• The mining pool can be connected after the miner is turned on (the miner LED is green), but it has no hash rate.

Possible root cause

• Mine pool configuration error;
•  Network configuration error;
•  The miner cannot access the external network;
•  No main output for the power supply of the miner (wiring error, overload, short circuit or damage);
•  Miner hash board is not working;
•  Miner overheating protection.

Troubleshooting guide

• If you cannot use the PC to connect to the miner through the network, you can try to reset the factory settings after confirming that the network environment is normal, the network cable is firmly connected, and the miner is turned on normally.
• For the method of resetting factory settings, see Appendix 1.
• Check the current version of the miner’s firmware. It is recommended to use FMS to update to the latest version. For the upgrade method, see Appendix III
•  Check the status of the hash board
•  Click Overview to check the working status shown as ② in the figure below. Normally, it should be In Work. If OverHot indicates overheating shutdown, you need to check the fan and ambient temperature as follows.
•  Check the number of Hash Boards shown as ③ in the figure below. The value should be 3. If the value is 1 or 2, you need to contact our after-sales personnel to
  deal with it. If it is 0, you need to check the power status according to the following.

Check the power, temperature, network status and fan status Click the Log in the menu as below.

Check the following fields in the right field:

• NETFAIL (as shown in ②) : records the time of disconnection from the ore pool (if it has not been disconnected or never connected to the ore pool, this is all 0).In the record, the odd term (items 1, 3, and 5) is the time of disconnection from the pool, and the even term (items 2, 4, and 6) is the time of recovery from the pool. If only the odd term has data and the even term is 0, it means that the connection with the pool is disconnected and not recovered (usually because of the excessive traffic of  the pool server, the connection can be broken. If frequent occurrence occurs for a long time, the other mining pool can be replaced).

•  SYSTEM STATUS: records the current working state, normally In Work (shown In ③).Where Hash Board (as shown in ④) is the number of working Hash boards, which should be 3 for 1146 Pro. If it is 1 or 2, we need to contact the after-sales service. If it is 0, you need to further check the state of the power supply.

• Temp is the ambient temperature and cannot exceed 35℃

•  TMax is the highest chip temperature, which cannot exceed 85℃.

•  Avg is the average chip temperature

• If you see any of the above temperature terms exceeding the maximum level (Temp over 35, Tmax over 85, TAvg over 68), you need to check the fan speed (as shown in⑥). If the fan speed is normal, it is necessary to reduce the indoor temperature and ensure good ventilation around the miner.

•  Vo (as shown in⑦) is the average chip voltage, which is normally 32x.
  PS (as shown in⑧) is the state of power supply. The meanings of items 1-6 are as follows:

• Item 1: error code. 0 as a normal value. Other values indicate power failure or output short circuit.

• Item 2: voltage supplied to control panel. The normal value is 12xx.

• Item 3: the voltage supplied to the HASH plate, normally between 1200 and 1400.

• Item 4: the current from the power supply to the hash board, which is related to the output power and voltage.

• Item 5: the power output from the power supply to the hash board is 3300 for the 1146 Pro model.

• Item 6: the expected output voltage from the power supply to the hash board, which is configured by the control board.

If the 6 parameters in the PS field of the power supply are all 0, it means that the control panel cannot communicate with the power supply. Please check the line connection. If
the connection is correct, the power supply PSU needs to be replaced.
Check whether the configuration of the mining pool, miner, and miner’s code is correct.
Click the menu to check the configuration of ①Pool, ②Worker, and ③Password. Then, click the Save button to Save the Settings.

Check your network Settings

• Click on the NetWork in the menu and the default configuration is DHCP mode. If all the data is empty, press F5 to refresh the page.
• If you use static IP, you need to pay attention to the configuration of DNS. The wrong
• DNS configuration will make miners not able to access the pool.
• The commonly used DNS address in China is 114.114.114.114, and the commonly used DNS address outside China is 8.8.8.8.

Note : after modifying the configuration, you need to click the save button to save the configuration.
