1. Check the Z9 miner before use

1. New machine acceptance inspection

a. When you receive the new device, please check whether the package is damaged. If there is any damage, please take a photo and contact WeChat customer service.

b. After unpacking, check whether the mining machine casing is deformed, whether the fan and connecting cables are damaged, and whether the cable is damaged. If there is any damage, please take a photo first and contact WeChat customer service for processing.

c. Check whether the mining machine makes any abnormal noise. If so, contact WeChat customer service.

d. Check whether the cable and fan plug are loose. If they are loose, plug them in immediately.

2. Precautions for use

a. It is recommended that the power supply be 20% or more higher than the power consumption of the mining machine.

b. The router or switch connected to the mining machine cannot use the POE function.

c. The mining machine can only be connected to a router or switch via wired connection.

d. The recommended operating temperature is 5 to 35 degrees.

e. It is recommended that the ambient humidity be below 65%.

f. Pay attention to dust and catkin prevention to avoid corrosion of the computing board or heat dissipation of the mining machine.

g. Enter the mining machine backend. It is recommended to use Google or Firefox browser.

h. All power interfaces of the mining machine must be fully plugged in.

3. Use and Settings of Z9 Miner

1. Mining machine power supply and network cable connection

a. Connect the computing board. The Z9 computing board has 6 6-pin power interfaces. It requires 12V DC power. When inserting the power cord, it must be inserted into place, usually the buckle is locked.

b. Connect the control board. The control board has a 6-pin power interface and requires 12V DC. When inserting the power cord, it must be inserted into place, usually just snap it in place.

c. Network cable connection. There is a network cable interface in front of the mining machine. Pay attention to the direction when plugging in the cable. The crystal head must be inserted in place. After it is inserted in place, you will generally hear a slight "click" sound.

d. When plugging the power cords of the computing board and the control board, pay attention to the direction of the buckles and do not connect them in reverse, as this will burn out the computing board or the control board.

e. When the power supply is connected to the mining machine, there is no difference in the line sequence, as long as it is connected properly, there will be no problem.

2. Enter the mining machine

A. Find the mining machine IP After the power is supplied, the mining machine starts to start. When the green light of the mining machine starts to flash, you can find the mining machine IP. The method to find the mining machine IP is as follows:

Download address: https://service.bitmain.com.cn/support/download?product=IP-reporter

a. Open the software and click "Start" b. Press the IP button on the miner c. The miner IP will be displayed on the computer

Note: The mining machine and the computer must be in the same network, otherwise the signal fed back by the mining machine cannot be received.

B. Enter the mining machine backend

a. After the IP of the mining machine is found, enter the obtained IP address in the web page and press Enter.

b. A dialog box will pop up. Enter your username and password, both are root, and press Enter.

3. Modify the mining machine IP

a. Click "Network" to enter the mining machine IP setting page and select "Static".

b. Enter IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS in the following four boxes.

c. Then click "Save&Apply" to save the page. After the page buffering is completed, proceed to the next step.

d. If you don’t know what DNS and gateway are, please check https://cnforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3249

4. Configure the mining pool miner

a. Click "Miner Configuration" to enter the mining pool and miner configuration page.

b. The URL contains the mining pool address (Ant Pool is used by default).

c. Worker is the miner name (corresponding to the sub-account in the mining pool, the number behind it is the number to distinguish the mining machine, together forming the miner name).

d. Leave Password unchanged (fill in at will).

e. Click "Save&Apply" to save.
