BITMAIN Antivirus Software Instructions: Protecting Your Miners

Start with safety and logs

Power down before opening a miner, label cables before moving boards, and capture logs before repeated reboots erase useful evidence. Record model, firmware, pool, uptime, fan speed, temperature, reject rate, chain count, and the exact error text.

Confirm the fault class

Separate configuration faults from hardware faults first. Pool errors, DNS failures, bad worker names, overheating, weak power, fan faults, and missing hashboards can look similar from the dashboard but require different fixes.

Document the test path

Change one variable at a time and keep the before/after result. Note cable swaps, PSU swaps, firmware changes, pool changes, fan replacements, ambient temperature, and whether the fault follows a hashboard, control board, network, or power source.

When to escalate

Escalate to professional repair when there is a burned smell, melted connector, breaker trip, corrosion, repeated hashboard loss, liquid exposure, or a board-level fault that returns after a basic cable, power, firmware, and airflow check.

After the fix

Run the miner long enough to confirm stable accepted hashrate, fan behavior, chip temperature, reject rate, and pool-side reporting. A dashboard that looks normal for five minutes is not enough evidence for a recurring power, heat, or hashboard fault.

Brief Introduction to Function:

This antivirus software is used for miner management, setting fixed IP, upgrading firmware, and setting up. This version is specifically used for virus detection and antivirus.

Warm Prompt:

  • The computer running the software requires WIN7 system or above. XP and IOS systems cannot be used.
  • The language environment automatically adapts according to the system environment.
  • If it prompts virus when downloading, change the browser and try again. This file is safe.
  • Decompress the program before using.
  • The computer installed and using this software shall be connected with the miner network.

Detection and Antivirus Function Steps

  1. Select the IP range, select the miner, and click “Start Scan” to scan for the miner.
  2. Select the miner to detect for viruses and click “Firmware Detection”. The system will display 4 results: “Normal”, “Poisoned”, “Security Firmware”, “Not supported”.
    • Normal: The firmware is normal and virus-free.
    • Poisoned: Virus detected. The information of the infected file is displayed in error details.
    • Secure Firmware: The miner is equipped with secure firmware and the port 22/SSH function is closed.
    • Not supported: The miner type is not supported, SSH failed or authentication failed.
  3. Click “Firmware Antivirus”-“One-click download” to download the antivirus firmware for antivirus operations.
  4. After firmware download is completed, click “Continue Antivirus”.
  5. After antivirus is completed, the system will automatically prompt “Operation Completed” – “Antivirus Succeed”.
  6. The running status includes the following 4 results: “Kill Success”, “Kill Error”, “Not support”, “None”.

Note: If the firmware version of the miner is lower, the miner configuration may be lost after the firmware is upgraded. In this case, reconfigure the miner.
