Onboarding
This onboarding guide provides procedures for configuring your Proto-MDK (Miner Development Kit), and connecting to a BTC mining pool. The Proto-MDK dashboard provides detailed information about your ASIC miner, including:
Before you begin
Ensure that the Proto-MDK is connected to the appropriate power source, and the Ethernet cable is inserted into the Ethernet port of the controller board. Obtain the MAC address of your Proto-MDK before installing the top cover.
Access the Proto-MDK dashboard
Once your MDK is assembled you can access the Proto-MDK dashboard by:
- Inserting your Ethernet cable into the ferrite core
- Connecting the controller board over Ethernet port (J3) and to your network (router or switch) LAN port
- Connect your power cable female connector to the PSU and the male connector to a 200 - 240V AC outlet
Confirm that the LEDs flash from red to green. The green LED will confirm the firmware upload was successful.
Populate a browser search bar with the hostname of your miner (found during miner discovery).
Log into mining pools
Once you have accessed the system/ UI, you will be taken to the Proto-MDK Mining pool dashboard. Here, you will log into your BTC mining pool and follow the onscreen instructions. We recommend adding two backup pools for redundancy.
Congratulations! Welcome to the Proto-MDK experience.
