Check whether there is any abnormal noise in the miner, and observe whether there is a case where the heat sink falls off.
If any of the above abnormalities are found, please take photos first and contact the after-sales service by submitting the ticket through: https://goldshellhelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
*Important: Do NOT try to dismantle the miner by yourself. The miner is secured with an anti-disassembly label. Unauthorized disassembly will result in the warranty being voided.
3. Prepare
The Goldshell BOX II series requires a power supply with two or more separate cables coming out of it and an Ethernet cable. If your miner supports Wi-Fi connection, the Ethernet cable is not necessary.
Power Supply requirements: Goldshell customized 1200W PSU. It can power two BOX IIs at the same time.
Important Notes:
1. For optimal performance and safety, we recommend connecting the dual interface and Ethernet cable ( if necessary) while the power is turned off. Once connected, you can proceed to power up the miners.
2. BOX Il miners MUST connect with TWO 6-pin power ports.*Make sure you plug in 2 separate 6-pin ports before powering on;
3.We highly recommend using Goldshell customized PSU. If you choose to use a non-Goldshell power supply, please ensure the following requirements are met: (1)Wire Gauge: The wire must be 16AWG. Using 18AWG wire may cause overheating and connector damage, which can risk product damage and will be at your own risk. (2)Power Rating: The rated power of the power supply multiplied by 80% should be greater than or equal to the miner's power consumption. (3)Connectors: Multiple independent 2x3 PIN power connectors with a 12V output.
4. Please be aware that inserting the power supply in the correct orientation is important to prevent potential short circuits.
4. Usage Precautions
- Before starting the miner, thoroughly inspect it for any potential damage caused by physical interference, and remain cautious of the risk of electric shock.
- Before powering on, ensure the stability of cable connections and prioritize electrical safety.
- Keep the miner away from water and high humidity environments.
- Ensure that the ambient temperature remains within the range of 10-35°C. Maintain ambient humidity below 65%.
- To prevent miner damage, maintain a clean environment to prevent the entry of dust, hair, catkins, and other foreign objects into the miner.
- Ensure a stable voltage supply.
- Do not plug or unplug cables while the power is on.
- Proper installation, use, and maintenance are crucial. Warranty services won't be provided if the miner, hash board, or components are crushed or damaged due to improper conditions.
- Customers must not disassemble the miner without obtaining prior permission from Goldshell's after-sales team.
5. Connect the miner
- Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your miner's Ethernet port.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network source, such as a router or switch.
- Power on your miner by connecting it to a power supply.
- After powering on, the indicator lights near the power interface will simultaneously flash red and green for a brief moment. Soon after, the red light will turn off and the green light will remain steady, indicating a successful startup.
- Near the IP button, you'll notice the indicator lights flashing red and blue. After a short while, only the blue light will be rapidly blinking.
For miners that support both Ethernet cable and Wi-Fi connections, please refer to Guidelines for Using or Disabling the Wi-Fi Functionality of Goldshell Miners for instructions on how to connect via Wi-Fi.
If the indicator lights show any abnormalities, please refer to Interpretation of indicator lights.

Password: your choice
Once you've completed the configuration, click the "Apply" button and wait for the Pool setting to turn green. This indicates a successful connection to the pool.
Wait for a successful pool connection, then navigate to the [Home] section and monitor the chart. If you observe a hashrate curve, it indicates a successful pool configuration.
- Make sure that the pool information matches the mined cryptocurrency. If you switch to a different algorithm to mine different cryptocurrency, you need to remove the original pool addresses and add a new one (different pools corresponding to each currency cannot exist simultaneously). Connecting to the wrong pool could result in miner malfunctions.
- All miners can be set up with 3 mining pools, with priority decreasing from the top pool to the botton pool. The pools with lower priority will only be used if all higher priority pools are offline.
8. Introduction to Miner Dashboard Data
8.1 Home page
The Home page consists of four modules: Mining Status, Miner Model Information, Hashrate Chart, and Hash Board Status. The Mining Status module consolidates the hash board information and serves as a crucial information section for monitoring miner status.
The following diagram illustrates the Home page data for the KDBOXⅡ as an example, other miners follow a similar format.
Mining status
Avg: The average hashrate within a specific time frame is relatively stable compared to the hashrate displayed in the Hash Board Status section. It best reflects the operational status of this miner and varies among different models. As long as the hashrate is within the ±5% range indicated in Miner Specification , it falls within the normal hashrate range.
HW error rate: Before submitting computational results to the mining pool, the control board verifies the results. Any calculation results that do not conform to the format will be discarded, resulting in a hardware error count increase by one. Factors such as operating environment, voltage stability, natural device wear, and chip quality affect the HW error rate. High HW error rates can lead to a decrease in the miner's average hashrate. Only when the HW error rate exceeds 5% and the hash rate is below the standard value is it considered to have a high HW error rate.
Solutions for high HW error rate
Reject rate: After submitting computational results to the mining pool, network latency, fluctuations, and blockchain characteristics can lead to delays or losses in submissions. The miner's submitted results become invalid, resulting in an increase in the reject rate on the miner, which in turn reduces earnings. A reject rate within 1% to 10% and not affecting the average hashrate is considered normal.
Solutions for high Reject rate
Powerplan: Currently, all BOX Ⅱ miners have different modes. You can find instructions on how to switch at this link.
Temp: The average temperature of hash board. Check Miner Normal Operating Temperature.
Fan speed(RPM): Displaying the current fan speed. For example, in the above diagram, the current fan speeds are 2520RPM and 2580RPM, which means 2520 and 2580 revolutions per minute respectively.(Note: 2520RPM is fan #1, 2580RPM is fan #2)
Online for: The running duration of the miner.
Miner Model Information
Model: The current miner type of the control board firmware.
Firmware version: The version number of the current firmware on the control board.
Hardware version: The current hardware version of the miner.
The curve in the graph is generated based on the real-time hashrate of the miner. Due to various factors such as network conditions and operating environment, the miner's hashrate is not constant. Therefore, the hashrate graph is intended solely for observing whether there are periods of no hashrate or low hashrate within the displayed timeframe on the page. The specific hashrate situation needs to be assessed by observing the average hashrate.
Hash Board Status
Hash board number(CPB 0): CPB0 represents the position of hash board within the miner (usually starting from 0). For Box series, there is only one hash board.
Hashrate: It is the real-time hashrate of the hash board in the current position. The overall miner's hashrate should be assessed by observing the average hashrate.
Temp: The temperature of the hash board.
Nonces: Indicates the number of valid computation results stored by the miner.
Accepted: The number of correct computation results accepted by the mining pool.
HW errors: Before submitting computational results to the mining pool, the control board verifies the results. Any calculation results that do not conform to the format will be discarded, resulting in a hardware error count increase by one. This count accumulates during a single uptime session. The specific HW errors situation of the miner should be assessed by observing the HW error rate.
Reject: The quantity of computation results submitted by the miner that have been rejected. This count accumulates during a single uptime session. The specific mining pool rejection situation of the miner should be observed through the Reject rate.
8.2 Miner page
The Miner page consists of three modules: Pool settings, Miner and Algorithm settings.
Pool settings: you can check/remove/add the connected mining pool here.
MAC address: Media Access Control address
Temperature monitor: It is used to measure and monitor temperature of the miner. If you turn it on, the miner will automatically shut down when the temperature exceeds the normal range.
Light indicator: If you turn it on, the indicator lights near the IP button will flash rapidly in red and blue, allowing you to quickly locate this Miner.
Powerplan: Currently, all BOX Ⅱ miners have different modes. You can switch the modes here.
Algorithm settings: Choosing different algorithms allows you to mine different cryptocurrencies. But you need to make sure that the pool information matches the mined cryptocurrency. Therefore if you switch to a different algorithm to mine different cryptocurrency, you need to remove the original pool addresses and add a new one. Connecting to the wrong pool could result in miner malfunctions.

The curve in the graph is generated based on the real-time hashrate of the miner. Due to various factors such as network conditions and operating environment, the miner's hashrate is not constant. Therefore, the hashrate graph is intended solely for observing whether there are periods of no hashrate or low hashrate within the displayed timeframe on the page. The specific hashrate situation needs to be assessed by observing the average hashrate.
Hash Board Status
Hash board number(CPB 0): CPB0 represents the position of hash board within the miner (usually starting from 0). For Box series, there is only one hash board.
Hashrate: It is the real-time hashrate of the hash board in the current position. The overall miner's hashrate should be assessed by observing the average hashrate.
Temp: The temperature of the hash board.
Nonces: Indicates the number of valid computation results stored by the miner.
Accepted: The number of correct computation results accepted by the mining pool.
HW errors: Before submitting computational results to the mining pool, the control board verifies the results. Any calculation results that do not conform to the format will be discarded, resulting in a hardware error count increase by one. This count accumulates during a single uptime session. The specific HW errors situation of the miner should be assessed by observing the HW error rate.
Reject: The quantity of computation results submitted by the miner that have been rejected. This count accumulates during a single uptime session. The specific mining pool rejection situation of the miner should be observed through the Reject rate.
8.2 Miner page
The Miner page consists of three modules: Pool settings, Miner and Algorithm settings.
Pool settings: you can check the connected mining pool here.
MAC address: Media Access Control address
Temperature monitor: It is used to measure and monitor temperature of the miner. If you turn it on, the miner will automatically shut down when the temperature exceeds the normal range.
Light indicator: If you turn it on, the indicator lights near the IP button will flash rapidly in red and blue, allowing you to quickly locate this Miner.
Powerplan: Box miners only have one power plan.
Algorithm settings: Choosing different algorithms allows you to mine different cryptocurrencies. But you need to make sure that the pool information matches the mined cryptocurrency. Therefore if you switch to a different algorithm to mine different cryptocurrency, you need to remove the original pool addresses and add a new one. Connecting to the wrong pool could result in miner malfunctions.
HSBOX supports multiple cryptocurrencies. If you need to switch between them, please refer to the tutorial.
8.3 System page
System page includes Network settings, WiFi settings, Cloud control settings, Change password, Update miner firmware, Reset and Restart miner.
