Step 2

Turn on the power and boot the machine into BIOS. This is usually done by pressing the DEL, F8 or F12 key, please consult your manufacturer for details. Once in the BIOS interface, navigate to the Boot column and set the USB flash drive as the #1 boot option. Save the changes and reboot the machine.

Step 3

Upon booting, you may be prompted to select your USB flash drive again. Once doing so, you will enter the MiningOS boot interface as shown below. If the interface is unresponsive to commands, you can try pressing "Ctrl + Alt + F1" to regain control.

Step 4

Enter "ifconfig" to check the local IP, which can then be used to access the backend of the miner through the browser of another computer on your local area network. By doing so, you will be able to use the MiningOS backend management page to configure your miner.
