Notes: The server does not contain a DC/DC converter; therefore, higher input voltage will cause higher
Mining efficiency.
2. Connecting the Power Supply
Nine PCI-e connectors are located at the top of the AntMiner L3+ for connecting the PSU as follows:
- Eight PCI-e connectors for the hash boards. Each hash board has a set of two PCI-e connectors.
- One PCI-e connector located on the controller.
Each hashboard must be powered by the same PSU on both connectors to prevent possible damage and instability.
To connect the power supply:
- Connect PSU power cable connectors to each of the eight PCI-e connectors on the top of the AntMiner L3+, ensuring that each hash board is powered by the same PSU.
- Connect a PSU power cable connector to the AntMiner L3+ PCI-e connector on the controller.
- Connect the network cable to the ETH port.
- To power up your AntMiner L3+, connect the PSUs to the power wall outlet.
If you are using more than one PSU, power up the PSU connected to the controller AFTER you have powered up the other PSU(s).
3. Setting up Bitmain Antminer L3+Server
To set up the server:
The file IPReporter.zip is supported by Microsoft Windows only.
1. Download the following file: IPReporter.zip.
2. Extract the file.
The default DHCP network protocol distributes IP addresses automatically.
3. Right-click IPReporter.exe and run it as Administrator.
4. Select one of the following options:
■ Shelf, Step, Position – suitable for farm servers to mark the location of the servers.
■ Default – suitable for home servers.
5. Click Start.
6. On the controller board, click the IP Report button. Hold it down until it beeps (about 5 seconds).
The IP address will be displayed in a window on your computer screen.
7. In your web browser, enter the IP address provided.
8. Proceed to login using root for both the username and password.
9. In the Protocol section, you can assign a Static IP address (optional).
10. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, gateway and DNS Server.
11. Click Save & Apply.
4. Configuring Bitmain Antminer L3+ Server
4.1 Setting up the Pool
To configure the server:
1. Click General Settings.
2. Set the options according to the following table:
| Option | Description |
| Mining address | Enter the address of your desired pool.The L3+ servers can be set up with three mining pools, with decreasing priority from the first pool (pool 1) to the third pool (pool 3). The pools with low priority will only be used if all higher priority pools are offline. |
| Name | Your worker ID on the selected pool. |
| Password (optional) | The password for your selected worker. |
3. Click Save & Apply to save and restart the server.
4.2 Modifying the Frequency (Applied only to fixed frequency firmware)
To modify the frequency value:
- In Miner Configuration, click Advanced Settings
- Select a frequency. The default frequency for the AntMiner L3+ is 384M
5. Monitoring Bitmain Antminer L3+ Server
To check the operating status of your server:
- Click dashboard marked below to check the server status.
- Monitor your server according to the descriptions in the following table:
| Option | Description |
| ASIC# | Number of chips detected in the chain. |
| Frequency | ASIC frequency setting. |
| GH/S(RT) | Hash rate of each hash board ( MH/s) |
| Temp(PCB) | Temperature of each hash board (°C).(Applied only to server with fixed frequency) |
| Temp(Chip) | Temperature of the chips on each hash board (°C). |
| ASIC statu | One of the following statuses will appear: O – indicates OKX – indicates error- – indicates dead |
Note :The server will stop running when the PCB temperature is over 85°C
6. Administering Bitmain Antminer L3+ Server
6.1 Checking Your Firmware Version
To check your firmware version:
- Enter the backstage of your server, find the firmware version on the bottom.
- Firmware Version displays the date of the firmware your server uses. In the examples below, the server is using firmware version 20170120.
6.2 Upgrading Your System
Make sure that the L3+ server remains powered during the upgrade process. If power fails before the upgrade is completed, you will need to return it to Bitmain for repair.
To upgrade the server’s firmware:
