Step-by-step Guide for Setting up the Elphapex DG-1

1. Preparing the ASIC

Any ASIC miner requires a relatively high power supply, over 3000W. Thus, a regular home power setup won’t work. You need a dedicated power infrastructure for your ASIC miner.

Collaborating with a certified electrician and getting a dedicated power setup to run your ASICs is highly recommended. You will need a 240V 30A circuit PDU and L6-30 receptacle to power your ASIC miner.

Since the ASIC miners release a large amount of heat, having this entire setup in an aerated place with a lot of ventilation is highly advisable. Additionally, ensure you have a dedicated wired internet connection in the mining area, as ASICs don’t have Wi-Fi support. Now, place the miner on a flat surface in the ventilated area.
The Elphapex DG-1 requires two sets of C-13 to C-14 power cables to power the miner. Ensure you get 14-gauge thick cables, which withstand the heat your ASIC generates.

2. Configuring the ASIC

Once the power supply is on, the ethernet light should come on.

When power's on, Ethernet light should activate. - 11

The next step is to find the IP address of your Elphapex DG-1. You will need a laptop or desktop with the same internet connection.
Go to the website Advanced IP Scanner. It is a free program software that gets you ASIC’s IP address.
