ReadyNAS RNDP6000 RND-6B stuck at "ReadyNAS" state when turned on
Good day! There is a problem - ReadyNAS RNDP6000 RND-6B freezes at "ReadyNAS" state when turned on. According to the owner of the device, first the raid disappeared, then the disks were disconn...
You need 3 4-pin Molex and, except for the pre-modified one I mentioned, you aren't likely to find that on an SFX supply. I typically remove the 90° connectors from the old one and move them to the new, which also allows me to trim some excess cable. But a Y adapter and/or SATA to Molex adapters will also give you that. Then, yes, you need the longer main cable or extension. A 15mm or so extension is usually right, but you may want to wait till you have the supply and see what you are going to need. The original supply has 22.5A available on the two 12V rails combined, and you are unlikely to find a supply under 400W that can deliver that.
The default message stored in the display itself is "ReadyNAS", so all it needs is +5V (and not particularly well-regulated +5V) for that to display. So there is a lot that can go wrong and give that symptom. When you tried the ATX supply, did you remember to swap out the CPU power connector (the 4-pin square one)? I ask because it does sound like a +12V power issue, which the CPU power is. But a power issue isn't always the supply, it can be from a component that's shorting out one of the voltages, which would be very hard to locate and possibly impossible to fix even if you did. The only replaceable component you've not yet tried is the CPU, but the fan not starting isn't pointing to that.
Good day!
For your questions:
1) Yes, all contacts were installed 4 pin and long.
2) I replaced the CPU, the cooler is spinning, but the results are still the same - it hangs on "ReadyNAS"...
Tell me, on the forum I saw options for diagnosing problems by installing an additional VGA module and using a USB recovery flash drive.
In my case, will this option be effective or if I get stuck, will I not see any results from loading the system through the monitor?
Also, the burning red light on the LED1 motherboard still confuses me. Is there any information on what this could be?
I suspect your unit is failing to complete the power-on sequence, so booting from USB would not work. A VGA cable might give you a bit more information, however, and would let you know if a USB boot is an option. But honestly, at this point, I think it's time you considered your options on replacement. With Netgear out of the NAS business, you may want to go with another brand, but you'd still need a way to recover the data. An OS6 NAS can read an OS4.2.x volume, but only to recover data, so you are probably best off getting an OS4 based NAS if you go with a used ReadyNAS.
Good day!
In the end, replacing a power supply with high power helped!
But it was ATX.
Tell me, what power supply could I buy as a replacement?The supply is a standard ATX one, except the main cable is longer. While the original is a 300W supply, it has more 12V power than most, so I recommend at least a 400W. Then, you'll need an extender cable for the 24-pin cable.
There is a seller on eBay that has supplies that have been modified wit the necessary longer cable. Their price is only a bit more than going the other route, so you may want to take a look.
