Hi RonnyHansen,
Welcome to the community!
Try it again and follow the procedure from this article. If it won't work, try 1 HDD or Disk at a time then let us know what happens.
Kind regards,

Hi, and thanks =)I followed a similar guide, but the NAS won't start up the boot mode :/ I've tried holding the reset button in for both 5 seconds and 30 seconds numerous times, but it doesn't seem to respond at all, the leds still blinks as i described :(
I tried just 1 disk, there was a slight change in leds at first, but after a few seconds it continued as before (with 2 disks).

I'm having a similar issue after performing a factory reset on my RND2000v2, and also performing an OS reload from USB.
Both disks are in but I get the 2 slow blinks.

Hi Starlionblue3,
Sorry. Can you send me a PM together with the serial number of your RND2000v2?
