3 Common Malfunctions and Treatment

3.1 Common Malfunctions

The red and green status indicators of the mining machine can indicate the abnormal state of the main mining machine

Red LightGreen LightStatus
Flash SlowLights offNetwork abnormal
Flash quicklyLights offFan speed is abnormal
Always onLights offMiner temperature is too high
Always onFlash quicklySome computing boards failed to start
Lights offAlways onThe miner is idle
Lights offFlash quicklyNormal working condition
Flash quicklyFlash quicklyUser-enabled lighting effect

When the miner software detects an abnormal state, the miner background page and indicator will indicate the current abnormal state at the same time.

3.2 Malfunction Elimination

3.2.1 Power Supply

Situation 1

When the miner is powered on, the fan does not rotate and the network port light does not turn on.

Tips:

  • Check whether the power connector is loose or falling off, and whether the power cord is inserted firmly.
  • Check whether the fan rotates, if not, the power supply needs to be replaced.
  • Use the multimeter to check whether the power supply is 11-13V output.

3.2.2 Network

Situation 1

The new miner cannot obtain an IP address

Tips:

  • Check whether the Ethernet interface is plugged in and whether the Ethernet status light is on.
  • Ensure that the IP address of the miner and the PC are in the same network.
  • Make sure that the miner network setting DHCP is turned on. If you do not confirm, press and hold the ‘Reset’ button for 7 seconds to restore the factory settings.

3.2.3 Fan

Situation 1

The fan does not rotate after power on.

Tips:

  • Check whether the fan cable is inserted firmly.
  • Change the fan interface crosswise to check whether it is a fan problem or a control board interface problem.

Situation 2

The fan starts after power on, but the miner software reports that the fan is abnormal.

Tips:

  • Fan speed is insufficient in some gears

3.2.4 High Temperature Protection

Situation 1

The miner is closed due to high temperature protection

Tips:

  • Check whether the ambient temperature is too high. (above 35℃)
  • Check whether the air inlet and outlet of the fan are blocked (for example, the air inlet and outlet are facing the wall, and there are too many attachments such as dust and catkins).
  • Restart at least 10 minutes after the high temperature protection, and observe whether the temperature of the miner is stable after running.

3.2.5 Low Computing Power

Situation 1

The background software prompts “Unable to start the computing board”, the computing power is 0.

Tips:

  • Restart the miner to see if it can be restored.
  • Change the power cord of the board to eliminate the problem caused by the power supply.
  • Cross-exchange data cables with normal hashrate boards to eliminate cable problems.

Situation 2

The local average computing power is normal, but the pool computing power is low.

Tips:

  • Check whether the network has high latency.
  • Replacing the pool comparison test, there are currently some pools that cannot adapt to the appropriate difficulty, resulting in low computing power.

Goldshell HS1 & HS1-PLUS Tutorial

This tutorial is outdated, please refer to the new article:
https://www.goldshell.com/2021/03/31/goldshell-lb1-mining-tutorial/

General

  • This document only applied to the HS1&HS1-PLUS miner product and the miner is only applied to mine handshake token(HNS).
  • Please be noticed that this miner is suggested to work in the good air circulation environment and the room temperature should not be higher than 40 Celsius degree. Any damage caused by these factors will not be under the coverage of warranty.
  • Please check the internet status before mining. Pool internet connection will directly affect the reject rate and lower the mining profit.
  • Any modification that will overclock the miner is forbidden and the related damage is out of warranty as well.

HS1-PLUS can be updated to the latest 0.0.4 firmware. Download the firmware from Github, upgrade steps refering to HS1. https://github.com/goldshellminer/HS1/tree/master/firmware

How to setup the miner

  1. Windows Users Prerequisites:
    Download STM32 serial driver STSW_STM32102_V1.5.0.rar. Select your OS version driver to install.

  2. Download supported miner softwares (two options):

    Option1: Goldshell Miner version 1.0.4 or above: (Windows only)
    https://github.com/goldshellminer/HS1/tree/master/miner

    Option2: Handyminer CLI&GUI (Windows, Linux, MacOs)
    https://github.com/HandyMiner/HandyMiner-Goldshell-CLI
    https://github.com/HandyMiner/HandyMiner-Goldshell-GUI

  3. Connect the hardware in sequence
    A. plug in the power cable.
    B. Connect the HS1 or HS1-PLUS miner with USB cable to computer


  4. Configure the mining pool parameters.
    Open Goldshell Miner,click the mining pool setting icon, input the url of the pool, workername, and worker password (normally “x”, not your pool account password)

    For example, if you use dxpool.com, you need to fill the contents as below:
    Pool URL:hns.ss.dxpool.com
    Port:3009
    User: account of DxPool
    Password:x


  5. Start to mine HNS
    Click the start mining icon and observe the hashrate, if it reaches up to 50GH/s or 105GH/s(tolerance is -+ 5%), then the miner is operating normally.


  6. Switch the pool
    Choose switch the pool button and reenter the new pool url.
