ReadyNAS Pro - Replace CPU Fan
The 80mm CPU fan on my ReadyNAS Pro Business NAS is starting to go. This is an early model that arrived with the CPU three pin header connected to the daughter board, as opposed to the main board. ...
Yes there is. If you look at the pick from the OP, just under the daughterboard there is a set of pink connectors. Those lead to the back of the power supply. There is also a bracket that mounts between the PS and the chassis. You can remove and reuse the original with 4 screws.
I'd take a closer pic with the PS out, but my NAS is in the middle of rebuiling RAID cause I'm upgrading some of the drives....
And if you look at the newegg pics, you see the jumble of cables on the replacement PS that needs modification to match the original drive connectors.
Just a thought, if you are only using 4 out of the 6 drive bays, I guess you can omit one of those 4 min molex connections?
As standard, are there 4 4 pin molex connectors (allbeit doubled up in pairs)... And essentially you changed it so you just have a single molex on each and then modified the sata one to have the 3rd?
Do the molex connectors on the drive board feature a cap so you can easily re-wire?
