Once the download is complete, unzip the file and copy it to your Micro SD Card.

Next, plug the Micro SD card into your Antminer S17 miner and power on the device.

Let the the miner boot up and wait for the control board to blink both its red and green LED lights three times.

Power off the miner and remove the SD card.

You are now factory restored with the original Bitmain firmware. We can now proceed to upgrade to BraiinsOS+.

To do so, we’ll go to our firmware page and download the BraiinsOS+ firmware image for 17 series ASIC miner.
