Readynas Pro 6 stuck in power off - reboot power off cycle.
Hello. I've got a Readynas Pro 6, that I updated to the 6.0 firmware some time ago. It's been running flawlessly for a few years now.\ The unit is used for backup (Time Machine and rsync from Lin...
It could be the disks. Perhaps try testing disk 1 in a PC with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate; Lifeguard for Western Digital).
If you have (or can borrow from a PC) a standard ATX power supply, you can hook that up externally just to see if it is the supply. If it ius, the replacement is an SFX form factor one. If you are going to run it any length of time with the external supply, cover the gaps where the cable comes out and the internal power supply fan opening with masking tape to keep air flowing properly over the drives.
Thanks. That is certainly not the type of job to really be doing with a New year's Day hangover....! Those molex are pretty tight. I hooked up a spare ATX PSU. Now the unit briefly turns on then back off again. So I guess the issue is more serious. Oh well.
Weird...! I reconnected the old PSU and it booted up fine. It's now resyncing...! Either it was the UPS unit it was previously plugged into, or I did remove and reseat the DIMM when reconnecting the PSU cable. i wonder if that had worked itself loose? Seems unlikely. Anyway fingers crossed it resyncs fully, Thank you!
