ReadyNAS 2100 dead motherboard
Hello, I am facing problem with ReadyNAS 2100. I thought problem is faulty PSU (no sign of life at all) so I replaced PSU with normal ATX one for test and then I even tried another flex PSU. Orange ...
There is an OS partition mirrored across all the disks which has all that stuff.
Hello,
Thanks for answers.
I managed to fix motherboard, changing blown MOSFET, so now Readynas is starting, but during repair I had to takeout battery from Motherboard (which made configuration reset I guess?) and I am afraid to put disks back in. Will NAS initialize disks and erase array or it will boot normaly from system installed on array, are you able to help me please ?
Thanks in advance
David
It should just boot off the array (I think the battery mainly keeps the real time clock running).
If you are concerned, just put in a scratch disk first (by itself). The NAS should install to it of course. Then shutdown, and replace the scratch with your array.
