Step 1: Prepare the Power Supply

Before connecting the power supply to your Antminer, ensure that you have a compatible power supply unit (PSU) and a sufficient power source. The PSU should meet the required voltage and wattage specifications of your specific Antminer model.

Step 2: Connect the Power Cable to the PSU

Take the power cable that came with your PSU and insert the male connector into the corresponding female socket on the power supply unit. Ensure that it is securely connected.

Step 3: Plug in the Power Cable

Locate an electrical outlet near your mining setup and plug in the power cable. Make sure the outlet can handle the power load of your Antminer and that it is properly grounded.

Step 4: Connect the Power Cable to the Antminer

Find the power input port on your Antminer and plug the other end of the power cable into it. Ensure a secure connection to avoid any power interruptions during operation.

Step 5: Power On the Antminer

Turn on the power supply unit using the switch located on the device. Once the PSU is powered on, your Antminer will start to initialize and join the mining network.

Summary

Connecting the power supply to your Antminer is a crucial step for successful mining operations. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure a secure and reliable power connection, maximizing the performance of your mining hardware.
