Agreed - these are very quiet.  But the Dell's are LOUD!

Regarding the new firmware:
There is a box that you can leave 'ticked' to retain your settings.  I flashed it and the settings are retained (as insurance, i saved the configuration file, which is easy to do: System tab, backup/flash firmware, the upper part is the backup/restore area - 'generate archive', after the 'setting archive' is generated you 'download' it to your pc)

Flashing new firmware is on the same System tab, backup/flash firmware, Flash new firmware image:  leave the tick in the box of "Keep settings:", then simply follow "Image:" browse to the location of the image file (assuming that you have downloaded it already from Bitmain's support page), follow the prompts... There is an interim step that tells you what the selected image size is and the checksum, if you are happy with those click on 'proceed', then wait for the process to complete until your Antminer reboots and presents a new login prompt on the web gui.

Just did this and it works   Too early to declare results, but preliminary impressions are positive (nothing 'earth shattering' though).

Cheers

Warning- That ebay link is using out pictures without permission, and is selling the PSU for much much than we carry it for.

I just removed my fan grills and the condo got a bit quieter.

Have bought from Bitmain before and never seen a UPS message like this.
Am in the US, BTW.
The packages have left Anchorage probably headed for Louisville.

"07/25/2014   9:16 P.M.   A valid tax ID or deferment number is missing and is required for clearance. We are working to obtain this information. The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release."

WTF Over?

Anybody got a clue whose tax ID they want.
And what the heck is a "deferment number"?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for this post ! Going to try this on one of my units and see how it works out.

I appreciate you posting this  I too have no idea why they set such a high queue on the units

How many units did you order?  This message means that you have to supply importer paperwork - which is nothing more than filling out a PDF that UPS will provide you - and emailing it back to them.  I had this happen when my SP10 was shipped to me.  I called Fedex about it, and the girl I spoke with said it was because the value was over $2500.

So, just call UPS, fill out the paperwork and your miners will be released and sent to you.

Did you change the Queue to 0?
