L7 first run
After flashing, restore pools, let the miner run at conservative settings, then let autotune finish before changing frequency/voltage targets.

VNISH firmware for Antminer L7
Antminer L7 is a Scrypt miner, so it needs different tuning expectations from BTC SHA-256 models. Use this page for L7-specific install checks, safe first-run tuning and tool selection.
L7 ScryptSD / NANDXIL board checksCooling first
| Area | L7 recommendation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Install method | Use SD for recovery, NAND for production | Keeps a fallback if the unit history is unknown |
| Cooling | Verify fan response before tuning | Scrypt units can become unstable when airflow is marginal |
| Power target | Start near stock and tune down/up gradually | Efficiency stability matters more than headline GH/s |
| Monitoring | Watch HW errors and temperature delta | Errors often reveal bad boards or over-aggressive settings |
When to avoid overclock
Avoid aggressive overclocking if the PSU is marginal, ambient temperature is high or one board already shows higher error rates than the others.
Fleet use
For multiple L7 units, create one known-good preset from a stable miner and roll it out in small batches instead of applying a high-power profile to every unit at once.
Frequently asked questions
Does L7 use the same VNISH package as S19?+
No. L7 is a Scrypt miner and needs L7-specific firmware.
Can VOU help with L7 installs?+
Yes. VOU helps discover and manage supported miners, but the firmware package and method still must match the model.
What should I check after L7 flashing?+
Pools, worker names, fan response, temperature spread, HW errors and reject rate.
