AntMiner S4+ Manual

Overview

Bitmain is introducing the newest miner: the AntMiner S4+. More powerful and efficient than its predecessor, the S4+ packs quite a punch. It uses the state-of-the-art BM1382 chip powered by ultra-low power 28nm technology, with a 2570Gh/s hash rate. S4+ will be shipped out with a built-in PSU and it’s tested and configured prior to shipping to make it easier for customers to set up.
Please note:

1.  The included PSU cannot be used in countries with the main power voltage lower than 205V. The PSU will not start below this voltage.
2. A power line is not included, please find one with at least 10A in your local market.

 Features

 Connect to Miner

Step 1. The default DHCP network protocol distributes IP addresses automatically. Please download IPReporter.zip from minerlink.com, then please follow the below steps to find out the IP of the miner.
Note: when finding the IP address, the PC and miner should be connected to the same router via Ethernet wire.

1.  Extract the file and double click ‘IPReporter.exe’. The ‘Shelf, Step, Position’ options are suitable for farm miners to mark the location of the miners. For home miners, it can be left as default. Then click ‘Start’.

2. Press the raised IP Reporter button on the right top corner of the panel, next to the green and red LED light, you’ll hear a beep sound:

3. Check your PC, you’ll see the IP address showing in the pop-up window.

Step 2. Enter the IP address provided into your WEB browser and proceed to login using ‘root’ for both the username and password.
In the ‘Network’ section, you can assign a ‘Static’ IP address if you like. Click ‘Save&Apply’ after modifying it.

Comment:
4.1.1 The AntMiner S4+ 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 have gone offline.
4.1.2 When ‘Stop running when the temperature is over 95℃’ is checked, the miner will stop mining when the temperature exceeds 95℃ to protect the miner. If it’s unchecked, the miner will still mine even in high temperatures. Click ‘Save & Apply’ to save and restart the miner.
