Hi j666gak

You have a v1 since the Duo V2 had it's LED board part of the main board. I can send you a document about the schematics.

Hi j666gak

Can you provide us an image/photo of the pins you need info so we can provide a specific answer?

Basically the Duo V2 has three PCB boards

Main board - Where the Front LEDs and Power button are mounted, there are no additional pins here.

I/O board - This is for the Ports and connectors on the back of the NAS.

Backplane - Which is for the hard drive connnection

Hope this helps!

Also, make sure you have a duo v2.

A duo v1

runs 4.1.x firmware

has a -100XXX at the end of the part number (XXX might be NAS or a country code)

might say duo v2 on the rear label (leading to much confusion).

A duo v2

runs 5.3.x firmware

has a -200XXX at the end of the part number

says duo v2 on the front (at the bottom)
