Software references
Match the instruction to the exact device
| Record | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Full model label, serial label and power-supply requirements | Similar family names do not make firmware, power or cooling requirements interchangeable. |
| Installed firmware version and the operation you intend | An instruction for monitoring is not a firmware installation procedure. |
| Error code, time, temperature context and affected boards | A support request should describe the observed fault, not only a low hashrate. |
| Original settings and vendor recovery instructions | Repeated flashing or resets can remove useful diagnostic evidence. |
Use manuals for the model-specific procedure, firmware notes for the exact image, and troubleshooting for an existing fault. Specifications shown in comparison tables are reference values, not independent wall-power measurements or a profitability forecast.
