Before setting up your IceRiver KS7 ensure all components are included:
- KS7 ASIC Miner
- Ethernet cable (for network connection,Prepare yourself)
- User manual
Safety & Operational Guidelines
Electrical Safety
- Before powering on, check that all cable connections are secure and pay attention to electrical safety.
- Check for any physical interference that could damage the machine and be cautious of the risk of electric shock.
- Use a stable voltage power source.
Environmental Requirements
- Temperature: Ensure the ambient temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
- Humidity: Ensure the environmental humidity is below 90%.
- Altitude: Operate the machine in environments below 2000 meters in altitude.
- Cleanliness: Keep the environment clean to prevent dust, hair, and other foreign objects from entering and damaging the machine.
Physical Setup & Usage
- Keep the hash board and all other components away from water and moisture.
- Do not cover the surface of the machine, as it becomes very hot during operation.
- Do not place flammable or explosive substances near the machine during operation.
Warranty & Servicing
- Damage to the machine, hash board, or components caused by crushing, burning, or an improper environment is not covered by the warranty.
- Customers must not disassemble the machine themselves without prior permission from the ICERIVER after-sales team.
Operating Environment
- Due to the high surface temperature of the server during operation, avoid covering the server
surface or placing flammable or explosive materials around it, and ensure that the ventilation holes
are not blocked. - Do not place the server near water or expose it to humid environments. Please keep the
environment clean to prevent dust, hair, willow catkins and other foreign objects from entering the
server and causing damage. Do not insert any objects into the slots of the server. This may damage
circuit components, leading to fire or electric shock.
Do not splash liquids onto the server. - The server should be placed in an environment below an altitude of 2000 meters to operate.
High altitude can lead to thin air and reduce heat dissipation efficiency, increasing the risk of power breakdown. At the same time, it will accelerate the aging of the fan, affect stability, and - shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
- Leave some space around the server. The recommended operating temperature for the server is
0-40 °C, and the humidity is below 90% RH. Be careful to avoid condensation at lower
temperatures. - The server should be placed in a secure location. Falling or dropping may cause damage.
- This server is not suitable for places where children may be present.

Viewing Miner Logs
Miner logs are an important tool for recording the operating status of your device. They help users
monitor performance, quickly identify faults, and analyze root causes. After logging into the miner,
click on the “Miner Log” option in the backend to view the log content.
Miner logs record operational data of the miner and are used for:
Monitoring the miner’s status (such as hashrate, temperature, fan speed).
Diagnosing common faults (such as network disconnections or hashboard errors).
Providing historical data to trace the root cause of issues, making maintenance and optimization easier.
1.Current Logs: These logs record the miner’s operational status since its last startup. They are
useful for troubleshooting issues that occurred without a reboot.
2.History Logs: These contain long-term operational data. The file size is fixed, and older logs are
overwritten by new ones. After a reboot, historical logs can be used to analyze the cause of faults.
How to Download Logs
- Download Current Logs: Saves the complete logs of the current session.
- Download History Logs: Saves all historical log records for future analysis.
How to Troubleshoot Common Issues with the Iceriver KS7?
Encountering issues? Here’s how to diagnose and fix common problems.
Common issues include network connectivity, abnormal hash rates, and power failures, which can often be resolved with simple checks.
Conditions Requiring Professional Inspection
If any of the following conditions occur, the server must be inspected by professional service personnel:
- The power cord or plug is damaged.
- Liquid has seeped into the server.
- The server has been exposed to a humid environment.
- The server has been dropped or damaged.
- The server shows obvious signs of damage.
- The server does not operate normally or as described in the manual.
Troubleshooting Guide
1. The server will not power on after connecting the power and switching it on:
- Check if the power connector is loose or disconnected, and ensure the power cord is securely plugged in.
- Verify that the input voltage is within the specified operating range.
2. The network port light is off:
- Check if the network cable is properly plugged in.
3. The server is overheating:
- Check if the ambient temperature is too high.
- Check if the inlet and outlet of the fan are blocked.
4. Power Supply
- Cannot be turned on the machine after connecting power and turning on the power button:
- Check whether the power connector is loose or off, and whether the power cord is inserted
tightly. - Verify that the power supply input voltage is within the specified operating voltage range (AC
200V – 250V).
5. Fan
- The fan does not turn after power is applied:
- Check the appearance of the fan and whether the metal mesh is extruded and deformed.
- Check if the mining pool is successfully connected.
6. Hashrate does not up to the target hashrate
Hashrate does not up to the target hashrate:
- Check whether the machine fan is working properly, if the fan speed is abnormal, it will cause
the machine temperature is too high will trigger high temperature protection. - Short-term hashrate fluctuations, please observe the 12-hour average hashrate.
The difference between the Web hashrate and the mining pool hashrate is large:
- Check whether the network connection is normal.
7. Unable to enter the Web operation page
- The browser displays 404 after entering the miner IP:Reboot the machine and re-enter the Web operation page.
8. Miner power reduces to around 150W-200W
- The miner’s power will drop after the network abnormality, please check the indicator light blinking condition as well as check the network condition.
