2. Connecting the Power Supply
2. Connecting the Power Supply
Ten PCI-e connectors are located at the top of the AntMiner D3 for connecting the PSU as follows:
●Nine PCI-e connectors for the hash boards. Each hash board has a set of three PCI-e connectors.
●One PCI-e connector located on the controller.
To connect the power supply:
1. Connect PSU power cable connectors to each of the nine PCI-e connectors on the top of the AntMiner D3,
ensuring that each hash board is powered by the same PSU.
2. Connect a PSU power cable connector to the AntMiner D3 PCI-e connector on the controller.
3. Connect the network cable to the ETH port. (WIFI is unavailable for AntMiners)
4. To power up your AntMiner D3, connect the PSUs to the power wall outlet.
Each hashboard must be powered by the same PSU on both connectors to prevent
Possible damage and instability.
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).
