Quick guide from the manual

The Bitmain Antminer D7 is a high-performance server designed for mining. This guide provides essential steps for installation, network configuration, and ongoing maintenance. Ensure the server is connected to an earthed mains socket and that both power inputs on the APW12 power supply are connected simultaneously for the unit to operate.

Server Components

The D7 server features a controller board and an integrated APW12 power supply. The controller front panel includes:

• IP Report Pushbutton: Used to identify the server's IP address on the network.
• Ethernet Connector: For network connectivity.
• Reset Button: Used to restore initial settings.
• Status Indicators: Includes a Fault indicator (red) and a Normal operation indicator (green).
• SD Card Slot: Used for firmware or system maintenance.

Setting Up the Server

To configure the server on your network, follow these steps:

1. Download the IPReporter tool from the official Bitmain support website (Windows only).

Configuring the Server

To begin mining, you must configure your mining pools:

1. Navigate to the Settings tab in the web interface.
2. Enter the Mining Address, Worker Name, and Password for your chosen pools.
3. The server supports up to three pools with decreasing priority. The system will automatically switch to lower priority pools if higher priority ones are offline.
4. Click Save to apply the configuration.

Monitoring Your Server

Use the Dashboard tab to monitor the server's status. Key metrics include:

• Real-time Hashrate: Displays the performance of each hash board.
• Temperature: Monitor Inlet and Outlet temperatures. The server will stop if the outlet temperature reaches 75°C.
• Chip State: A green icon indicates normal operation, while a red icon indicates an abnormality.

Administering Your Server

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance:

• Checking Firmware: View the current firmware version at the bottom of the dashboard.

Environmental Requirements

To ensure longevity and performance, operate the server within these parameters:

• Operating Temperature: 0 to 40°C.
• Operating Humidity: 10% to 90% RH (non-condensing).
• Altitude: Below 2000m.
• Environment: Keep the server away from industrial pollution sources (smelters, coal mines, chemical industries) and high-power electromagnetic interference (transformers, high-voltage lines).
