Is there anyway to confirm if a supply will run an ant miner . Mine will only power one side and if I plug both in  it boots up blinks twice[I think] and then powers down. I have a 550watt antec true power and that wasn't enough and I just don't want to buy over priced

Is there a specific power output to look for on pci express.  I saw 325 watt to run and hoped a 550 would do. Hopfully if I need to get a better supply I'd hope I'm not going to suck more than the 325 watts.

Thanks

Definitely more: 360W normal and ~425W average overclocked to the max; strange that 550 is not enough. Corsair CX 600 should be good or you can run 1.5 overclocked ants on corsair 750M (it comes with 4 PCI-E cables).

If my budget allows this is what I plan to replace it with. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012

At least i got a few device that will run on the less amperage but now I gotta start looking into future recycling plans for it

Did you contact the courier company? Did you check the delivery address?
Ask for POD (proof of delivery)!

Your routers up is most of the time your gateway ip.

I modified the cgminer file and the load balance works.  The price seems to be that now any pool config updates have to be done through Putty.  Here is my 'for dummies' guide how to do it:

Putty into Antminer S1

(note:  on Windows, if you copy some text (select then Ctl+C) then click inside Putty, move to the desired insertion point and click the mouse right button, the text will be pasted.  This can save typing and reduce typing errors)

cdetc/init.d/

vim cgminer

type 'i'  (to enter edit mode)
using arrows move to the line that has $APP and make it #$APP

Next replacee the line that says
 PARAM=" --lowmem $AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb --api-allow $_aa --api-listen"
with the following 3 lines:
 option pool_balance '--load-balance'
 MYSTUFF="-U Q1;pool1 -O user1:pass1 --load-balance -U Q2;pool2 -O user2:pass2 -U Q3;pool3 -O user3:pass3"
 PARAMS=" --lowmem $AOPTIONS $_pb --api-allow $_aa --api-listen $MYSTUFF"

Where Q1, Q2, Q3 are integers representing the weight given to Pool1, Pool2, Pool3 etc.
(for example if Q1=5, Q2=4, Q3=1 then Pool1 will use 5/(5+4+1)=0.5 (50%), Pool2 will use 4/((5+4+1)=0.4 (40%) and Pool3 will use 1/(5+4+1)=0.1 (10%) of the total hash rate of the miner
pool1 is the web address of pool1.  user1 is the user name in pool1 and pass1 is the password for pool1.  If you don't have more than 2 pools, just omit the pool3 parameters.

when you finished editing, type 'Esc' (to stop editing) then ':wq' to write the edited file and quit.
Now type 'reboot' and enter
close the Putty session.
Relog into the Antminer gui when the Antminer finishes rebooting and go to the miner status tab, wait until mining resumes (click on the 'Miner Status' tab to refresh).  Verify that the desired relative loads are in effect (checking the received shares at the pool end may help).

Cheers

I have 2 Antminer S1's and I set one to its own IP address, and the new one I just got I let it stay at 99 like the factory setting default.  But when I put it online via ethernet cable to my DSL router, it hangs on the black sign-in screen and won't let me sign in.  Why does that occur?  I was changing settings I think in the WAN/WWAN part and I think I  did something wrong and hit save and it applied it and now I don't know what I did.  Any help appreciated! 

You mean the S2 black button?  I tried that for 20 seconds & it didn't work.  I don't think it actually reset it.  Ethernet light flicks on 2 or 3 times and then dies altogether.  The cord is good, I tested it.  I did IP scan however and it did not show up so I'm not sure.

When changing the miners IP address do you change wan or lan if its hard lined to the router
