For Rev B ReadyNAS 600/X6, Power switch pin is pin 7 of J23(Located
at left front corner, please note how pin is numbered, pin 6 is keyed.
Pin 7 is the pin left to "3" of label "J23", Pin 9 is ground, you way want to
use beep to verify) Pin 7 is pulled up by 2.2KOhm to standby 5V, if WOL
pulse temporary(Can not hold it longer than 5 seconds) pull it down,
main power will turn on.
(Connect WOL pulse correctly to Pin 7 and 9, you may need to invert the
pulse depends on polarity of the pulse. Now you are on your own to have
fun and absolutely no warranty :P )
Someone made this :lol: It should work with any ReadyNAS as long as
you know how to hook the WOL cable to power button

You do not need batteries. All you need to do is bring out 3 wires from
ReadyNAS to NIC's WOL connector(AUX5V, GND, WOL to power switch)
this also solves the problem for those complain NV stays off after power outrage 8)
