Cannot access RN2120
Afternoon all,
I've spent the last two days tearing my hair out over this.
An old 2120 that we hadnt used for a while... (so, data not important)
Power on, plugged into the same network it had always been on - nothing. Cannot access web interface or shares.
Run RAIDar on same network - nothing.
Bring back to my office. Plug into same network, same switch as a PC - nothing
Try 'factory reset' using the fron coltrol - nothing
Try 'OS reinstall' - nothing
Try using the USB recovery tool. Seems to run through ok and gracefully shuts down. Turn back on - nothing.
Try rearranging the drives to deliberately break the raid array. Try USB recovery again - nothing
(Also all of the above on BOTH NICs on the ReadyNAS. Originally only one NIC was configures for a static IP)
I've pretty much run our of things to try. RAIDar just wont detect it. Period.

Does RAIDar see it if you remove the disks and power it up?

Nope - tried that already :(

Do you recall which firmware it had on it before you tried USB Boot Recovery? Was it older than 6.4.0?
