5. Navodila za nastavitev

1. Razpakiranje in pregled: Carefully remove the Antminer Z11 and APW7 PSU from their packaging. Inspect both units for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Umestitev: Choose a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Ensure there is adequate space around the miner for proper airflow, especially near the intake and exhaust fans. Avoid placing the unit near heat sources or in enclosed spaces.
3. Connecting the PSU to the Miner:
   • Locate the PCIe power connectors on the APW7 PSU.
   • Connect the PCIe power cables from the APW7 PSU to the corresponding power ports on the Antminer Z11 hash boards and control board. Ensure all connectors are fully seated and secure. Each hash board typically requires multiple PCIe connectors.
4. Omrežna povezava: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Antminer Z11's control board and the other end to your network router or switch.
5. Napajalni priključek: Connect the power cord to the APW7 PSU's power input. Then, plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that can support the required wattage.

6. Navodila za uporabo

1. Vklop: Once all connections are secure, flip the power switch on the APW7 PSU to the 'ON' position. The miner's fans will start, and indicator lights will illuminate.
2. Začetna konfiguracija:
   • Poiščite IP-naslov: Use an IP scanner tool on your network or check your router's connected devices list to find the IP address assigned to the Antminer Z11.
   • Dostop Web Vmesnik: Odpri a web browser on a computer connected to the same network and enter the miner's IP address into the address bar.
   • Prijava: Enter the default username and password (refer to official Antminer documentation if unknown, typically 'root' for both).
   • Configure Mining Pool: Navigate to the 'Miner Configuration' or 'Settings' section. Enter your chosen mining pool's URL, worker name, and password. Save the settings.
3. Spremljanje: After configuration, the miner will begin hashing. Monitor its performance through the web interface, checking the hash rate, temperature of the hash boards, and fan speeds to ensure optimal operation.

7. Vzdrževanje

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Antminer Z11:

• Odstranjevanje prahu: Periodically clean dust from the miner's fans, heatsinks, and casing using compressed air or a soft brush. Dust accumulation can impede cooling and lead to overheating.
• Okoljski nadzor: Continuously monitor and maintain the recommended operating temperature and humidity levels in the mining environment.
• Posodobitve vdelane programske opreme: Check the official Antminer website for any available firmware updates. Firmware updates can improve performance, stability, or security. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when performing updates.
