Miner Connection

• Get your PSU ready. You need to prepare a PSU > 900w with 6pin x 7 for the miner. If you bought the 1000w PSU with EastShore, check here for the setting-up of this 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 miner you will receive from EastShore.

• Please check if all the cables on the miner to make sure they are inserted tightly.
• Connect the miner to your PSU via the 6pin ports on the miner.

• There are SEVEN 6pin ports on the miner. All the five 6pin ports are needed. You need to connect all the 6pin ports to your PSU. (Don’t forget to connect the 6pin port on the little green controller board)
• Pay attention to how to place the miner. The BLUE section in the following picture is the air inlet, the RED section is the air outlet. DON’T block the outlet and inlet of the miner.

• Plug in the ethernet cord. Connection done.
