Btw you can get UPS units which allow you to connect a UPS to your NAS. In addition to connecting the ReadyNAS's power cable to the UPS you can connect a USB cable to the UPS. Consult the HCL. Does your UPS provide surge protection? Do you have an ethernet surge protector on the NAS end of the ethernet cable plugged into the NAS? Do the network lights light up at all when you turn the NAS on? Have you tried a different ethernet cable? Have you checked to make sure your router/switch is working properly?

The UPS unit is an APC 500, I think it has surge protection, I thought it did. I don't have surge protection on the ethernet line, no.
I just tried a new ethernet cable, cause I didn't see any lights on the switch in that port when I turned on the NAS, the cable switch didn't work.
But, when I moved the cable from the switch it was plugged into, and now into the router, the port the NAS is on is lit up and blinking, but still won't boot up properly.

The rest of the network is working fine, switches and routers all work, other devices on them are working.
