Do you know if the disks were encrypted? If they were, you will need the key with the new NAS.
If not, then you can copy the data using a normal linux distro that supports btrfs. Then if your migration fails, you'd still have the data backed up.
I'd recommend that they also put a backup plan in place once the new NAS is installed.
Also, I'd also recommend an RN202 or RN212 over an RN100 series.
Also what troubleshooting was done to conclude the problem was with the RN104 chassis and not a different problem?
If the problem was not with the chassis it will remain when moving the disks across to another chassis.
