Step-by-Step Instructions for Setting Up the Canaan Avalon Q<\/h2>\n
1. Preparing the ASIC<\/h3>\n
Before plugging in the Avalon Q, it’s critical to check your home\u2019s power infrastructure:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Eco Mode and Standard Mode work with a typical 15-amp 120V circuit. Super Mode draws over 1800W and needs a 20-amp 120V circuit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n- \n
- Using Super Mode on a 15A circuit may trip the breaker or damage your outlet. Ensure no other high-power devices share the same circuit when using Super Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2. Configuring the ASIC<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Plug the Wi-Fi dongle into the USB port at the front of the Avalon Q.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
