The normal LED codes for 2-bay ReadyNAS are
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
No disks detected seems to be indicated, but I'm not sure on why only one disk led is blinking during the slow blinks.
Are you seeing the same LED pattern when you power up with no disks installed?
Are you sharing the same power adapter with both NAS, or is each using its own adapter?
