Miner Connection

  • Get your PSU ready. You need to prepare a PSU > 1300w with 6pin x 10 for the miner. Check here for the Setting-up for PSU.
  • For the miner configuration, please connect the miner to the LAN port on the same router which your computer is also connected to. The miner is stand-alone, your computer is just needed for the miner configuration.
  • This is the Antminer D3 you will receive from EastShore. Please check if all the cables on the miner to make sure they are plugged properly.
