📦 What’s Inside

  • Bitaxe Gamma 601 Miner
  • 5V/6A Power Adapter
  • This Manual (hi there 👋)

🔌 Step 1: Powering Up

  1. Plug the power adapter into a stable outlet.
  2. Connect the barrel jack to the Bitaxe’s power port.
  3. The screen will light up within 10 seconds.
💡 Tip: Place your Bitaxe in a well-ventilated area to keep it cool and happy.

🌐 Step 2: Connect to Wi-Fi

  1. On your phone or computer, look for a Wi-Fi network like Bitaxe_XXXX.
  2. Connect to it (no password needed).
  3. If the setup page doesn’t appear automatically, open a browser and go to: http://192.168.4.1

⚙️ Step 3: Configure Your Miner

Once on the setup page:
  • Enter your Wi-Fi SSID and password
  • Input your mining pool address (e.g., stratum+tcp://public-pool.io:21496)
  • Add your Bitcoin wallet address to receive rewards
  • Click Save, then Restart
Your Bitaxe will reboot and connect to your local network. The screen will now show its new IP address.

🧪 Step 4: Optional Tuning

Want to squeeze more performance or reduce power draw? Head to the tuning section in the web interface:
Setting Range Notes
Core Voltage 1000–1250 mV Higher voltage = more power
Frequency 400–625 MHz Higher = faster hashing
Fan Speed Adjustable Keep temps below 75°C ideally
⚠️ Tuning is optional. Start with defaults if you're unsure.

📊 Step 5: Monitor & Maintain

  • Use the web interface to check hashrate, temperature, uptime, and logs
  • Clean the fan regularly to prevent dust buildup
  • Avoid placing the miner near heat sources or in enclosed spaces

🧠 Troubleshooting

  • No Wi-Fi hotspot? Reboot the device and check for Bitaxe_XXXX
  • Can’t connect to pool? Double-check the pool address and port
  • Miner unresponsive? Power cycle and recheck your network settings
  • Still stuck? Visit "bitaxe.org" or join the community forums
