Chia Miner Upgrade Setup Guide
Prerequisites
- Ensure you have a Chia Full Kit already running. If you don't have one, you can purchase and set it up from Bitcoin Merch Chia XCH Miner 9TB Full Kit.
Steps for Upgrading
-
Connect the Upgrade:
- Use the USB cable included in the upgrade kit.
- While your existing Chia Full Kit is running, connect the upgrade using this USB cable.
- Plug the extra hard drive into the additional port on the power supply.
-
Power Supply Capacity:
- The power supply included in the kit can support up to three additional hard drives per kit.
-
Initialization:
- After connecting, wait for approximately 30 minutes. This allows the system to recognize and integrate the new hard drive.
- During this time, the extra hard drive will become visible in the stats on your Evergreen app.
-
Full Integration:
- It may take 1-2 days for the full size of the drives to be reflected in your Evergreen app. This is normal as the system fully integrates the new storage capacity.
Post-Setup
- Monitoring: Regularly check the Evergreen app to monitor the status and performance of your upgraded Chia Miner.
- Expansion: Remember, you can expand your setup further, as each kit can handle up to three additional hard drives.
