Tools Needed
Before starting, make sure you have the following tools ready:
- Hardware: Computer (with a Windows operating system), S19 Pro mining machine (or control board), and a router.
- Software: Latest firmware from the official website, IPReporter tool, and a web browser (Google Chrome or Firefox).
Steps to upgrade your Antminer S19 Pro
Step 1: Preparing the Tools
- Connect your computer and the mining machine (or control board) to the same router. Ensure that the router has DHCP service enabled.
- Launch the IPReporter tool on your computer and click “Start” to initiate the process.
- On the miner or control board, press the IPReport button. The miner’s lights will flash red and green five times, indicating successful IP acquisition.
Step 2: Logging in to the Miner
- Open your preferred web browser (Google Chrome or Firefox) on your computer.
- Type the obtained IP address from the IPReporter tool into the address bar of the browser and press enter.
- A login prompt will appear. Enter the default username and password (“root”). If you have previously changed it, use your custom credentials to log in.
Step 3: Miner Upgrade
- Once you have logged in, navigate to the firmware upgrade option. Note that it may be hidden under the system dropdown menu.
- Click on the system dropdown menu and select “Firmware Upgrade” to access the upgrade screen.
- In the firmware upgrade screen, click the “Upload” button (1) to open the file selection window.
- Locate the downloaded firmware file on your computer (2). Select the corresponding firmware file (3) and click “Open” (4).
- After selecting the firmware, the file name will be displayed in the window. Verify that it is correct and proceed to upgrade the firmware.
- Click the “Upgrade Firmware” button. The miner will indicate that the firmware upgrade is in progress. The process will take approximately 1 minute as the miner upgrades the firmware and reboots.
- Once the miner automatically restarts, the web page will refresh, indicating that the upgrade is complete.
