Ⅰ.Before Using

• Inspect the New Miner

1. Visually inspect the box when your miner package arrives. Look for signs of damage. If package is damaged, take photos of the package’s conditions before proceeding to open the package and inspect the miner. If miner is damaged as well, contact customer support immediately.

2. Inspect the miner for aesthetic damage. Look at the corners of the miner and check for dents and cracks. Look out for broken fan blades and cables. If you noticed a damage or defect, contact customer support immediately.

3. Assess miner’s heat sinks. View from miner’s front and rear fan to check whether there are loose heat sinks. If you found loose heat sinks, contact customer support immediately.

• Know the Precautions for Use

1) PoE is not supported.

2) Only Ethernet network connection supported via a router or switch.

3) Use the miner in an environment between 5 to 35 degree Celsius.

4) Keep the miner’s surrounding humidity below 65%

5) Keep the miner free of dust and catkins to prevent corrosion and/or heat accumulation.

6) Supported browsers: Google Chrome and Firefox.

7) Power connector and PSU cord must be plugged tightly.

*NOTE:

1. To prevent the spread of virus in the firmware, which can cause damage to the ANTMINER S19 series, the setting function of “Secure Boot” has been switched on and the “Root Authority” function has been disabled. 
2.  If the user fails to use the product in accordance with the given instructions, specifications, and conditions provided, or change the function setting without Bitmain's prior consent, Bitmain will not be liable for any damage arising therefrom.

(1-1)  Caution: Wrong input voltage may probably cause server damaged

• Fan speed percentage can be adjusted, but we recommend to keep the default setting. The server will adjust the fan speed automatically if the fan speed percentage has yet been selected.   
• There are two working modes of 19 series server: Normal mode and Sleep mode. The server enters the sleep mode under the condition that the control board is powered while hashboards are not powered.

      2.Configure miner’s pool settings

Click the “Miner Configuration” tab to set up the mining pools. Key in the mining pool URL and miner name (under Worker).

Then click “Save” to connect to the mining pools.

*Note: In this article, we are using Antpool. Feel free to use other mining pools.

 

Ⅴ. Monitoring Your Server

To check the operating status of your server

1.Click dashboard marked below to check the server status.

*Note:

The S19j server (92T) is with fixed frequency 500MHz. Firmware will stop running when the Temp(Outlet) reaches to 85℃，there will be an error message “over max temp, pcb temp (real-time temp)”shown on the bottom of kernel log page. Meanwhile, the server temperature on the dashboard interface turns to abnormal and shows “Temp is too high”.

2. Monitor your server according to the descriptions in the following table:

Option	Description
Number of chips	Number of chips detected in the chain.
Frequency	ASIC frequency setting.
Real Hashrate	Real-time Hashrate of each hash board (GH/s).
Inlet Temp	Temperature of the inlet (°C).
Outlet Temp	Temperature of the outlet (°C).
Chip state	One of the following statuses will appear: ●      The Green Icon - indicates normal ●      The Red Icon- indicates abnormal
