1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your BITMAIN Antminer S19 86TH/S Bitcoin ASIC Miner. Please read this document thoroughly before setting up and operating the device. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
The Antminer S19 is designed for high-performance cryptocurrency mining using the SHA256 algorithm, supporting currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Bitcoin SV (BSV). It features an air-cooling system and is optimized for energy efficiency.
2. Setup
2.1. Unboxing and Inspection
Carefully remove the Antminer S19 from its packaging. Inspect the device for any visible damage that may have occurred during transit. Ensure all components are present.

2.3. Network Connection
Connect the miner to your network using an RJ45 Ethernet cable. The device supports 10/100M Ethernet connections. Ensure a stable internet connection for continuous mining operations.
2.4. Initial Configuration
Once powered on and connected to the network, the miner will typically acquire an IP address via DHCP. Access the miner's web interface using its IP address to configure mining pool settings, worker names, and other parameters. Refer to the BITMAIN official website for detailed software configuration guides.
3. Operating the Antminer S19
3.1. Performance Overview
The Antminer S19 delivers a hashrate of 86 TH/S ± 3%, with a power efficiency of 34.5 J/TH ± 5%. It operates on approximately 2967 W ± 5% at 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature. These figures are crucial for calculating potential profitability and ensuring your electrical infrastructure can support the load.
3.2. Environmental Requirements
To ensure stable and long-term operation, adhere to the following environmental conditions:
- Operation Temperature: 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C)
- Storage Temperature: -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C)
- Operation Humidity (non-condensing): 10% to 90% RH
- Operation Altitude: ≤ 2000 meters
Operating outside these ranges may lead to reduced performance, instability, or permanent damage to the unit.
4. Maintenance
4.1. Air Filter and Fan Cleaning
The Antminer S19 utilizes an air-cooling system. Regular cleaning of the air intake and exhaust fans is essential to prevent dust buildup, which can impede airflow and lead to overheating. Use compressed air to gently clear dust from the fan blades and heatsinks. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from the power source before performing any cleaning.

4.2. Environmental Monitoring
Continuously monitor the operating temperature and humidity of the mining environment. Maintaining optimal conditions will extend the lifespan of your miner and ensure consistent performance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1. Common Issues
- No Power: Verify the power cord is securely connected and the power supply is receiving adequate voltage (200-240V).
- No Network Connection: Check the Ethernet cable connection and ensure your network is operational. Confirm the miner has obtained an IP address.
- Low Hashrate: This can be caused by poor network connectivity, incorrect mining pool settings, or environmental factors such as high temperatures.
- Overheating: Ensure proper ventilation and clean the fans. Check ambient room temperature.
5.2. Important Note on Voltage
Using an incorrect input voltage (e.g., 110V instead of 220-240V) will likely cause irreversible damage to the miner. Always confirm your power source meets the specified requirements before connecting the device.
