Etcher is a recommended tool to write Hive images on the drives. It supports Windows, Mac, Linux. It can write unpacked ZIP archive as well.

Alternatively you can use Rufus as an image writing tool.

After the image is flashed you will discover newly created drive in your system where you will be able to precreate rig.conf with worker's ID and password or FARM_HASH. Please find rig-config-example.txt on HIVE drive. The ready rig.conf file can be downloaded from the rig’s settings.

Advanced Unix (Linux or Mac) users can use dd to write RAW image to disk. Something like dd if=hiveos-XXX.img of=/dev/sdX bs=10M status=progress. But be careful finding out output disk "of", use fdisk -l to list your partitions.

SSDs are much more reliable and advised to use in production environments. If you want to prolong the life of your USB flash drive please run logs-off after installation.

Common booting problems forum thread.

If it is impossible to connect SSD to a laptop or PC, but you have a USB flash drive, you can transfer the contents of the flash drive to an SSD in the rig. Or you need to install Hive OS on a GPU laptop for mining. This manual will help you.

Default login is user password 1
Note: if you set your own password during the first run, you should use it instead.

Use ssh [email protected] from Linux or Mac. Windows users can use Putty ssh client. Once you are in run sudo -s to become root user. Start or stop miners, agent, etc. only from root user.

If you prefer graphic UI, VNC server is there for you. Use VNC Viewer or any other VNC client to connect to your IP address vnc://192.168.0.xxx:5900.

There is a Shellinabox server running on the rig. You may open https://192.168.0.xxx:4200/ in browser and access shell from the web.

And of course you can connect monitor to the first GPU in 16x slot if there are some serious problems.

Security forum thread.
