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

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.
- 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.

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.

You are able to modify the frequency value through ‘Miner
Configuration->Advanced Settings‘. The default frequency for the AntMiner S4+
is 200M.

ASIC status: o stands for OK, x stands for error.
System Configuration and status
6.1 System Upgrading
You can upgrade the miner’s firmware on the ‘System-> Upgrade’ page.
‘Keep setting’ is chosen by default and should be enabled if you want to keep
your current settings. You should deselect this option if you are trying to
return the miner to default settings. Click the ‘Browse’ button to choose the
upgrade file. Select the upgrade and click the ’Flash image…’ button. The
interface will display if the firmware can be upgraded and download the
software. During the upgrade process, you need to wait patiently and must
