3. Упатства за поставување
The Bitaxe Gamma 602 is designed for plug-and-play operation with any Bitcoin/SHA-256 mining pool. However, initial assembly and configuration are required.
3.1 OLED Display Assembly
The OLED display requires soldering to the main board. This step is critical and requires basic soldering skills. If you are not proficient in soldering, seek assistance from an experienced individual to prevent damage to the unit.
- Orient the Display: Carefully align the OLED display with the designated pins on the main board. Ensure the display is oriented correctly as shown in product images or diagrams to match the pin assignments.
- Prepare Soldering Iron: Use a low-temperature soldering iron with a small tip. An iron set to approximately 850°F (450°C) is recommended.
- Solder Pins: Solder the display pins from the opposite side of the board where the display is mounted. Apply solder sparingly to each pin, ensuring a solid connection without creating solder bridges between pins. Avoid overheating the display pins.

6 Смена на проблеми
Овој дел се однесува на вообичаени проблеми со кои може да се соочите.
- Рударот не се вклучува:
- Ensure the power supply is securely connected to both the miner and the electrical outlet.
- Проверете дали електричниот штекер е функционален.
- Check the PSU for any visible damage.
- No Display on OLED Screen:
- Confirm that the OLED display has been correctly soldered to the board. Inspect solder joints for cold joints or bridges.
- Ensure the display is oriented correctly.
- Unable to Connect to Wi-Fi / Web Интерфејс:
- Verify your Wi-Fi credentials entered in the web интерфејсот е точен.
- Ensure the miner is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
- Restart the miner and your Wi-Fi router.
- If the miner is creating its own AP, ensure your device is connected to that AP.
- Low Hash Rate or Instability:
- Check the miner's temperature via the OLED or web interface. Excessive heat can lead to throttling.
- Ensure the cooling fan and heatsink are free of dust and operating correctly.
- If overclocked, reduce the clock speed to a stable level.
- Verify your mining pool connection and settings.
