Antminer KS7 – Setup and Getting Started Guide (Kaspa Tutorial from A to Z) 🛠️

Have you just received an Antminer KS7 and want it to mine Kaspa at home? In this 2025 video (in French), we show you the whole start-up process in three stages: unboxing, connecting the cables, then configuring the pool and the wallet in the web interface. Here is the step-by-step guide, with the checks that tell you whether everything is working.

1. Unbox the miner

Take the miner out of the box, then cut away the anti-static protection around it. Next, stand the KS7 upright in the place where it is going to run.

2. Connect the network and power cables

Two cables are all you need:

• The Ethernet cable, connected to your internet box, router or switch;
• The power cable: for a KS7, it comes directly in the box, with a European plug.

Once the miner is plugged in, the Ethernet port LED lights up and the miner's indicator light turns red. This is perfectly normal: the machine has not been configured yet.

3. Find the miner on your local network

To access the miner, you first need its IP address. We use BTC Tools, an application that searches for all the miners available on your local network, and only on that network.

Once you have the IP address, type it into your browser to open the miner's web interface. If your browser asks, allow non-HTTPS access. At this point the "network" indicator may show red: again, that is normal as long as the configuration has not been done.

4. Configure the Kaspa pool and wallet

Go to the "Settings" page. This is where you enter the three Stratum TCP addresses of the pool you have chosen. In the example we used our pool, which does not require you to create an account: you just enter your wallet address. On the pool's website, select Kaspa, since we are mining with a KS7, then copy the Stratum addresses one by one into the Pool 1, Pool 2 and Pool 3 fields of the miner's interface.

Then fill in the other fields:

• Miner name: paste your Kaspa receiving address. If you do not have a Kaspa wallet yet, create one first;
• The worker name: right after the wallet address, add a dot and then a name that identifies your miner (address.miner-name);
• Password: no password is needed, leave the field empty;
• The other parameters: leave them as they are and stay in normal mode.

Finally, save the settings. Saving can take a little while.

5. Start up and check that the miner is hashing

Once the configuration has been applied, the miner initialises. The LED stays red for a while: that is normal, the hashboards have not started mining yet. The logs even state that you have to wait one minute before the hashboards are initialised. If the connection to the pool is good, the "network" indicator turns green.

After a while, you should hear the fans get quieter. About 5 minutes later, the miner has started and the LED has turned green.

To check locally that the miner is hashing properly, look at three things in the interface:

• the hashboard frequencies have ramped up;
• the number of ASIC chips detected is complete;
• the hashrate is displayed and matches your model's specification to within about 5%.

In our case, everything checks out: the KS7 is configured and mining Kaspa.
