Setup Guide

Start an IceRiver miner the right way.

Use this end-to-end checklist to position the miner safely, find it on the network, log in to the web interface, configure your mining pool, and confirm healthy operation.

Step-by-step setup checklist

  1. Position the miner in a clean, ventilated area between 0 and 35 degC ambient. Keep at least 30 cm of clearance around intake and exhaust.
  2. Connect a quality Ethernet cable to the miner before plugging in power. Use a switch on the same subnet as your management computer.
  3. Connect the appropriate power supply: 65 W for KS0, 100 W for KS0 Pro/Ultra and AE0, 600 W for KS1, 1200 W for KS2, 3200-3550 W for KS3 and KS5 families.
  4. Discover the miner: run IceRiver Monitor or IceRiver MinerTool, click Scan, and locate the device. Alternatively press the IP button on the front of the unit for 1-2 seconds.
  5. Open the miner IP in a browser (for example http://192.168.1.101) and log in using the default credentials shown below.
  6. Open Mining Settings and enter pool URL, worker name (your Kaspa or Aleo wallet address), and password (usually x). Add a backup pool when possible.
  7. Save changes and reboot the miner so the new pool configuration is active.
  8. Watch the dashboard for 30-60 minutes: confirm steady hashrate, healthy chip temperatures, accepted shares, and no error codes.

Default credentials

All IceRiver miners ship with the same default web interface credentials. Change the password as soon as the device is online and reachable.

Username: admin · Password: 12345678

Sample mining pool URLs

These are common Kaspa kHeavyHash mining pools. Replace 'your_address' with your Kaspa wallet address and 'worker' with a label of your choice.

Pool URLWorker / walletPassword
stratum+tcp://kas.2miners.com:2020kaspa:your_address.workerx
stratum+tcp://kas.f2pool.com:5400kaspa:your_address.workerx
stratum+tcp://stratum.kaspa.herominers.com:1200kaspa:your_address.workerx
stratum+tcp://kas.kryptex.network:7011kaspa:your_address.workerx
stratum+tcp://stratum.kaspa-pool.org:4444kaspa:your_address.workerx
stratum+tcp://pool.woolypooly.com:3112kaspa:your_address.workerx

Use Pool1, Pool2, and Pool3 for failover

All current IceRiver firmware exposes three pool slots. Configure all three with the same wallet so the miner automatically switches if Pool1 becomes unreachable. Many operators use one pool family across two regions plus a backup pool from a different operator.

LED indicator quick reference

After power-on, the indicator lights tell you whether the miner has booted, joined the network, and started mining.

  • L1 / power LED solid: power supply is healthy and the control board is energised.
  • L2 / status LED blinks during boot then becomes steady - this confirms a successful startup.
  • Network LED solid or blinking on the RJ-45 port: Ethernet link is up. If it is dark, swap the cable or switch port.
  • D3 and D4 flashing simultaneously after a long press of the reset button means a hard reset is in progress; wait until they go steady before powering off.

Power cord specification per model

IceRiver miners ship without a region-specific power cord (except KS0 PRO bundles). Use the correct IEC inlet for your hardware.

  • KS0, KS0 Pro, KS0 Ultra, AE0: bundled adapter or local plug supplied at checkout.
  • KS1, KS2, KS2 Lite: IEC C14 inlet - use a C13/C14 cord rated for the local voltage and at least 10 A.
  • KS3, KS3L, KS3M, KS5L, KS5M: IEC C19 inlet - use a C19/C20 cord rated for at least 16 A.
  • Always confirm the breaker, outlet, and cord can sustain the model's rated power draw under continuous mining load.

Tips for stable operation

  • Maintain ambient temperature between 0 and 35 degC. Above 35 degC the miner will throttle or trigger overheat protection.
  • Use input voltage between 170 V and 300 V AC. Power dips and spikes are the most common cause of unexpected reboots.
  • Set the fan curve to auto. Manually lowering fan speed to reduce noise will overheat the hashboard and shorten chip life.
  • Keep the miner connected by Ethernet. Wi-Fi bridges add latency that increases share rejection.
