Use WhatsMinerTool for the installation
It is necessary to flash the ASIC using the SD-card in the event that the firmware cannot be installed using WhatsMinerTool. For this:
- Check the version of your control board (for Whatsminer M5x these are H6os, H616 control boards)
- Download the utility for reverting your equipment to the service firmware: for H6os boards or H616boards
- the ASIC in preparation for SD card flashing. The detailed process is shown in the video below:
- Once the firmware is installed, open the ASIC’s web panel and go to the Configuration>Miner Configuration>Overclock. Here are the ASIC’s configuration settings.
This section also has the Immersion Cooling option, which has to be checked if you immerse the ASIC into liquid. If there are errors related to the PSU cooler, it is required to flash the PSU using the function in the firmware: Upgrade PSU Firmware under Configuration > Miner Configuration > PSU Firmware.
