Power Light Flashing
Hi, Can someone please help? I have just installed an RN21200 after the previous unit died. I have a few issues, 1. Blue power light is constantly flashing (unit is up & running fine!). ...

Don't know if this is of any importance but the 2 x SATA hard drives were just taken out of the old dead unit & installed into the new one with no setup required!
What NAS did you have before?
Hi StephenB,
Thanks for your reply & apologies for the delay!
The product number on the underside of the old unit reads - RND2000-200EUS.
A label above this also states model number - RND-2B

Just to confirm - does it say "Duo v2" on the front chassis?
If so, the drives are formatted differently in the RN212. Check the status with RAIDar (https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads ).
It sounds like you have a backup of the old NAS - is that correct?
Hi,
Yes it does say Duo v2 on the front!
What I don't understand is that i got the new NAS box straight out of the packaging & plugged one (just to be cautious) of the two original drives in. The unit then appeared to have all the original settings (i.e. unit name, IP address, shares & data etc.).
Yes I do have a backup on external hard disc!
