+
+In our previous post about mining Ethereum Classic (ETC) with the Antminer E9 Pro through Antpool, we published 5 videos explaining the unboxing, connection, setup, checking statistics, and how to start mining processes.
+
+In this article, we will go over the same steps, but in written form as there are many miners around the world who would prefer these guides in text.
+
+This is the link to our previous post: 
+
+https://ethereumclassic.org/blog/2023-06-07-mining-ethereum-classic-with-an-antminer-e9-pro-through-antpool 
+
+In the following sections we will explain the processes mentioned above.
+
+## 1. Unboxing the Antminer E9 Pro
+
+![](1.png)
+
+When unboxing the Antminer E9 Pro you will find a big machine that measures 22 inches deep, 8 inches wide, and 12 inches tall (in centimeters, that is 56 cm deep x 20 cm wide x 31 cm tall).
+
+It has an ethernet port to connect to your local internet router, but it does not bring the cable, so you need to get one.
+
+The miner requires 3000 watts of power and runs at 220 to 240 volts, so if you are mining from a location with different voltage, then you will need a transformer with two 220/240 outlets.
+
+I said above two outlets because the E9 Pro miner uses two power sources, one for the fans and one for the mining boards. However, the machine does not come with the power cables, so you will need to purchase them as well.
+
+If you will mine at home or office and you have normal air conditioning, or the temperature is around 75º F (around 24º C) then it will work fine.
+
+## 2. Connection
+
+![](2.png)
+
+The fans of the Antminer E9 Pro make a lot of noise, so if you are mining from home or office, make sure to put it in an isolated location!
+
+To connect the ASIC miner, first get the two power cables and connect them to the two available plugs in the machine. Then, connect the other ends of the two cables into the transformer, if you are using one, a multiplug extension cord, or outlets on the wall.
+
+Second, connect the miner to the router by plugging your ethernet cable to the port in the miner, and then into your local WiFi router.
+
+If your are using a transformer or multiplug extension, then connect them to the wall outlet. 
+
+Once you connect the power source to the miner, or you turn on the transformer, the machine will start immediately.
+
+You will notice that the secondary fans start first and after a while the primary fans will turn on.
+
+## 3. Setup With Your Local Computer
+
+![](3.png)
+
+To set up your Antminer E9 Pro to your computer to be able to manage it, both machines must be connected to the same WiFi router.
+
+To open the Antminer interface, open your browser and type the URL 192.168.0.210 to access it. This is the address of your miner within your local network.
+
+The interface will immediately ask you for a user ID and password. The defaults are “root” and “root”, so type them as your ID and password to open the interface.
+
+Once in the user interface, you need to change your password for security reasons. For this, go to the “System” tab on the left hand menu and change your password there.
+
+The next step is to configure your miner to point it to the Antminer pool. For this we will go to the “Settings” section, but first we will get the configuration information from Antpool in the next section.
+
+## 4. Start Mining: Connecting to Antpool
+
+![](4.png)
+
+To get the configuration information from Antpool to connect your miner to that mining pool, you need to go to https://antpool.com and register.
+
+Once you are on your account select “ETC” as the mining pool you want to work for by opening the dropdown menu on the top right and clicking on Ethereum Classic.
+
+On the ETC mining page, you will see the three pool addresses listed below:
+
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:8008
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:443
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:25
+
+You will have to copy each address and paste them in the corresponding section on your Antpool interface. For this open your Antpool app again and go to “Settings”.
+
+![](5.png)
+
+In the settings page on the Antminer interface, you will see the form to enter the three URLs to mine through Antpool: Pool 1, Pool 2, and Pool 3.
+
+In the “Mining Address” fields, enter the mining URLs that Antpool gave you one by one.
+
+In the “Miner Name” field give a name to this miner you are configuring by entering your Antpool account ID followed by a dot and then a number you may give to this machine.
+
+For example, in my case I named it “ETCPOW.11” where ETCPOW is my account ID on Antpool and 11 is the number I gave my miner.
+
+In the “Password” field just enter 123, which is the usual password that these systems use.
+
+Once you entered all the fields, then press “Save”.
+
+Now you are ready to see the dashboard with your mining statistics.
+
+## 5. Checking the Miner Statistics
+
+![](6.png)
+
+It is important to note that you need to wait for several minutes after you started mining to start seeing statistics on your Antminer and Antpool dashboards.
+
+When you go to the Antminer dashboard again you will see the “Real time hashrate”, “Network status”, “Fan speed”, and “Miner temperature” metrics that should all be on “Normal”.
+
+Below you will see a chart of the chain’s hashrate and on its left you will see your Antminer’s specific hasrate. If it’s between 3,600 and 4,000 MH/s, then it is a normal range as the target hashrate of this machine is 3,680 MH/s.
+
+At the bottom of the page you should see your miner has two mining boards with a theoretical capacity of 1,850 MH/s each.
+
+When you go to the “Pool” section you must see that the pool is accepting your work. Todo know this, see if under the column “Accepted’ there are a number of works accepted by Antpool. If so, then your machine is working fine and connected to the pool.
+
+![](7.png)
+
+When you go to your account on Antpool, you will see a parallel dashboard to the one on your miner.
+
+On your account you will see a chart that should show that the pool is receiving your work, and also statistics of your hashrate.
+
+When you go to the “Dashboard” tab, you will find the hashrate of your worker, how many workers you have in this account on this pool, and your total earnings.
+

+
+在我们之前关于如何使用Antpool通过Antminer E9 Pro挖掘以太经典的帖子中，我们发布了5个视频，解释了开箱、连接、设置、检查统计数据以及如何启动挖掘过程。
+
+在本文中，我们将以文字形式介绍相同的步骤，因为世界各地有许多矿工更喜欢这些指南以文本形式呈现。
+
+这是我们之前帖子的链接：
+
+https://ethereumclassic.org/blog/2023-06-07-mining-ethereum-classic-with-an-antminer-e9-pro-through-antpool
+
+在接下来的章节中，我们将解释上述提到的过程。
+
+## 1. 开箱Antminer E9 Pro
+
+![](1.png)
+
+当您打开Antminer E9 Pro的包装时，您会找到一台大型机器，尺寸为22英寸深，8英寸宽，12英寸高（以厘米表示，即56厘米深x 20厘米宽x 31厘米高）。
+
+它有一个以太网端口，用于连接到您的本地互联网路由器，但不带网线，因此您需要自行购买一根。
+
+这台矿机需要3000瓦特的电力，并在220到240伏特电压下运行，因此如果您在电压不同的地方进行挖掘，那么您将需要一个带有两个220/240插座的变压器。
+
+之前提到两个插座，是因为E9 Pro矿机使用两个电源，一个用于风扇，一个用于挖掘板。然而，这台机器不附带电源电缆，所以您也需要购买它们。
+
+如果您打算在家里或办公室进行挖掘，且有正常的空调，或者温度在摄氏75度（约摄氏24度）左右，那么它将正常工作。
+
+## 2. 连接
+
+![](2.png)
+
+Antminer E9 Pro的风扇噪音很大，因此如果您在家里或办公室进行挖掘，请确保将其放在一个隔离的位置！
+
+要连接ASIC矿机，首先获取两根电源电缆，并将它们连接到机器上的两个可用插头。然后，将这两根电缆的另一端连接到变压器（如果您在使用的话），多插座延长线，或墙壁上的插座。
+
+其次，通过将以太网电缆插入矿机上的端口，然后插入您的本地WiFi路由器，将矿机连接到路由器。
+
+如果您使用变压器或多插座延长线，请将它们连接到墙上的电源插座。
+
+一旦您将电源连接到矿机，或者打开变压器，机器将立即启动。
+
+您会注意到，次要风扇首先启动，一段时间后，主要风扇也会启动。
+
+## 3. 与本地计算机的设置
+
+![](3.png)
+
+要将Antminer E9 Pro设置到您的计算机上以进行管理，两台设备必须连接到同一WiFi路由器。
+
+要打开Antminer界面，请打开浏览器，输入URL 192.168.0.210以访问它。这是您在本地网络中的矿机地址。
+
+界面会立即要求您输入用户ID和密码。默认值为“root”和“root”，所以请将它们输入为您的ID和密码以打开界面。
+
+一旦进入用户界面，出于安全原因，您需要更改密码。为此，请转到左侧菜单中的“System”选项卡，并在那里更改您的密码。
+
+下一步是配置您的矿机，将其指向Antpool矿池。为此，我们将进入“Settings”部分，但首先在下一节中从Antpool获取配置信息。
+
+## 4. 开始挖矿：连接到Antpool
+
+![](4.png)
+
+要从Antpool获取配置信息以连接您的矿机到该挖矿池，您需要前往https://antpool.com 并进行注册。
+
+一旦您登录您的帐户，请选择“ETC”作为您要工作的挖矿池，方法是打开右上角的下拉菜单，然后点击Ethereum Classic。
+
+在ETC挖矿页面上，您会看到以下三个矿池地址：
+
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:8008
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:443
+stratum+tcp://stratum-etc.antpool.com:25
+
+您需要将每个地址复制并粘贴到Antpool界面上相应的部分。为此，请再次打开您的Antpool应用程序，然后进入“Settings”。
+
+![](5.png)
+
+在Antminer界面的设置页面上，您将看到一个表格，用于输入三个URL以通过Antpool挖矿：Pool 1、Pool 2和Pool 3。
+
+在“Mining Address”字段中，逐个输入Antpool给您的挖矿URL。
+
+在“Miner Name”字段中，通过输入您的Antpool帐户ID，然后加上一个点，再加上您为这台机器取的编号，来为这台矿机配置一个名称。
+
+例如，在我的情况下，我将其命名为“ETCPOW.11”，其中ETCPOW是我在Antpool上的帐户ID，11是我为我的矿机指定的编号。
+
+在“Password”字段中，只需输入123，这是这些系统通常使用的密码。
+
+一旦您输入了所有字段，然后点击“Save”。
+
+现在，您已经准备好查看包含挖矿统计信息的仪表板。
+
+## 5. 检查矿工统计信息
+
+![](6.png)
+
+请注意，在开始挖矿后，您需要等待数分钟才能在您的Antminer和Antpool仪表板上看到统计信息。
+
+当您再次转到Antminer仪表板时，您将看到“实时算力”，“网络状态”，“风扇速度”和“矿工温度”的指标，这些指标都应该显示为“正常”。
+
+在下面，您将看到链的算力图表，左侧是您的Antminer的特定算力。如果它在3,600到4,000 MH/s之间，那么这是正常范围，因为该机器的目标算力为3,680 MH/s。
+
+在页面底部，您应该看到您的矿机有两块挖矿板，理论容量为每块1,850 MH/s。
+
+当您转到“矿池”部分时，您必须看到矿池正在接受您的工作。要知道这一点，请查看“Accepted”列下是否有Antpool接受的工作数量。如果是这样，那么您的矿机正常工作并已连接到矿池。
+
+![](7.png)
+
+当您访问Antpool上的帐户时，您将看到一个与您的矿机上的仪表板平行的仪表板。
+
+在您的帐户上，您将看到一个图表，应该显示矿池正在接收您的工作，并显示您的算力统计信息。
+
+当您转到“Dashboard”选项卡时，您将找到您的工作机的算力，您在该矿池中有多少个工作机，以及您的总收益。
+
+## 6. 祝您成功！
+
+我们愿您在ETC挖矿中取得愉快的成果！
