Setting Up Your Avalon Q: Location, Safety & Physical Connection
Location Tips
Place your Canaan Avalon Q on a flat, stable surface with good airflow—near a fan or open window is ideal. Keep it away from direct sunlight, dust, and moisture to protect the device and ensure long-term reliability. If you plan to run multiple Avalon Q units, a Power Distribution Unit can help manage electricity safely. Some users even pair the miner with solar or battery systems to save energy while staying eco-friendly.
Physical Connection & Network Setup
After choosing the location, connect the miner safely. Start with the included power cable—inspect it for damage, plug it securely into the back of the Avalon Q, then into your wall outlet. Loose connections can disrupt mining, so ensure everything is tight. Next, choose your network: Ethernet is recommended for a stable, high-speed link, but if that’s not possible, use the included Wi-Fi adapter in the miner’s USB port. Double-check all connections before powering on to ensure reliable operation.
