Ant Training Academy Offers Optimized Online Courses

December 2, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Bitmain’s training service upgrading project ‘Ant Training Academy’ (ATA) made significant adjustments this year to ensure that participants worldwide can still be trained amid the global pandemic of COVID-19. ATA launched its online courses and has completed 16 online trainings courses so far, including 9 in Chinese and 7 in English, with more than 130 trainees participated, accounting for nearly 50% of the total number of trainees in 2020.

ATA is the only training institution and certification authority officially certified by Antminer. Based on years of knowledge dissemination and technology inheritance and accumulation, ATA offers optional maintenance training courses: onsite maintenance training and online maintenance training. Onsite maintenance training includes long-term courses (fundamentals of chip welding and miner maintenance training) and short-term courses (miner maintenance training only). Online maintenance training includes various training videos and documents, online trainer guidance, and Q&A.

Due to many participants being unable to attend onsite courses attributed to the pandemic, and with the growing urgency for maintenance training. ATA put together and developed high-standard online courses when the pandemic broke out and eventually came up with an explorative and practical solution as below:

The online maintenance training is composed of 3 phases. Material explanation, Q&A,  and examinations are modules included in each phase. The duration for the online training course is 14 days, and trainees can arrange the online learning time flexibly with exceptions for the assessments.

Course Content

Assessment: 3-Phase Examination (70%) + Theory Assessment (30%)

The maintenance training courses are currently available for the Antminer 9, 17, and 19 series. For the trainees who apply for the online training course from Oct.1, 2020, to Dec.31, 2020, a $200 coupon for purchasing materials on our official website shall be issued. Skills come from practice, so ATA still suggests participants take onsite courses if possible so that they can learn better through hands-on experience and face-to-face guidance from professional instructors.

More information about ATA could be found:

Onsite courses – https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015970014

As a global leading technology company, Bitmain takes customer experiences as a priority. As a strategic role of Bitmain services, ATA keeps upgrading and evolving and will continue to upgrade training courses as market needs, especially to empower our customers with the ability to maintain and repair their miners, hence to reduce the losses caused by miner failures.

A Close-up at Bitmain’s Rack-Style New Miner

November 27, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Earlier this month, Bitmain announced a new rack-style mining hardware – AntRack. With features customized for large-scale deployment, Bitmain developed this new product to empower its clients to explore more potentials for their operations.

AntRack adopts a pioneering hot-swappable modularized configuration. The hash board, control panel, power supply unit (PSU), and fans, are essential parts that are hot-swappable for optimized operations. 

The hot-swappable design makes it a perfect fit for large-scale facilities, as it ensures the convenience to upgrade while maintaining eco-friendly operations. Once the AntRack is installed, owners can easily replace all the essential parts without powering down. When the new generation chipsets are released, the current hash boards can be easily replaced with the latest ones, effectively upgrading the current AntRack with the most efficient hash rates and power efficiency. Thus, it significantly reduces the human and resource consumption into new hardware, ensuring an eco-friendly operation.

To ensure mining operations are uninterrupted, and maximization of ROI is achieved. The AntRack adopts a 3+1 redundant operation power supply unit, bringing a total of 12+4 redundant operation for the entire rack, which is all hot-swappable, avoiding potential losses caused by power failure.

  • AntRack Redundant Operation PSU

As an all-in-one rack-style miner, AntRack can be deployed quickly and conveniently. AntRack can easily be deployed and operational once its 3-phase AC power cable and network cable are plugged in, and the inlet & outlet for the water-cooling unit are set.

AntRack Easy Set-up Configuration

Knowing customers will have potential requests for large-scale placement, Bitmain provides an all-in-one data center solution – ANTBOX, that can house 10 AntRacks. This is a customized solution and can be designed per the client’s requests. It delivers all the advantages of AntRack into one package – eco-friendly, easy to deploy, upgradable, and reliable. By configuring the 3-phase AC power supply, network port, and water-cooling system, mining is possible in almost every location.

AntRack AntBox Solutions

Several water sources can be used on the condition that the water requirements are met, such as purified water sources from lakes and rivers. Utilizing the traditional cooling tower system is another option for other situations.

AntRack Water Cooling Unit Requirements

The main parameters of AntRack are as following:

AntRack Parameters

AntRack is a perfect fit for large-scale deployment of mining farms and data centers. 

Bitmain adheres to the user-friendly principle. By actively challenging the market and technological innovation, Bitmain strives to bring better products and services that can truly solve problems for our customers. AntRack yet again proves Bitmain’s determination and commitment.
