1. Review Box Components.  
   Your SustainHash Bitaxe box should contain the following: 

1. 1 (one) bitaxe ultra miner 

1. 1 (one) corded 5V power supply. 
    

1. Initial Power-Up. 

1. Plug your bitaxe miner into the provided 5V power supply. This will automatically turn on the miner. NOTE: It is important only to use an approved power supply. Using alternative power supply models may permanently damage your miner. 
    

1. Access The AxeOS Web Portal. 

The miner will attempt to connect to a default network, which it will not initially find. Use a wi-fi-capable device (ie. A phone, laptop, desktop, etc.) to search for an access point called Bitaxe_XXXX.  

After connecting to the bitaxe SSID, you should be automatically redirected to the AxeOS web portal. If you not automatically redirected: 

1. Open your browser. 

1. Visit http://192.168.4.1. 
    

1. Configure Wifi Settings: 
   In the AxeOS web portal, click on the ‘settings’ button. Select your local Wi-Fi network and connect to it. NOTE: Bitaxe devices are incompatible with 5GHz WIFI; they only work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Double-check the Wi-Fi SSID and password before entering to prevent manual recovery later. 
    

1. Update Mining Pool Settings. 
   Within the AxeOS web portal you will see a default pool configuration. Your miner will work however to receive any payouts you need to change the user to “YOUR-BTC-ADDRESS.MINER-NAME”. You may also change the pool URL and port to a mining pool of your choice. NOTE: We recommend doing your research to find a mining pool that works best for you. The r/bitaxe Reddit is an excellent resource for finding accessible information.  
    

1. Save and Restart to Apply Changes. 
    

1. Start Mining.  

Good luck and watch out for Balrogs.
