ReadyNAS 3100 all disk lights flashing red

Question

I recieved a ReadyNAS NASRNRP4000 last weekend. When I powered it up and the disk failor lights where flashing red in unison. Other servers can access the data, but I can not access it via IP address, RAIDar won't find it, nor can I log into the W2k8 OS via KVM. How should I procead to varify it's health, monitor or access it's management?

You can hook up a console cable to the back and watch the startup. Copy/paste the output if you can.&nbsp;
Or you can try an OS reinstall to reset network adapters/admin pw and reinstall the OS, and see if you can see in RAIDar after that.
&nbsp;
Maybe check your initrd.log file and see if your flash image is corrupt.

I&nbsp;am able to&nbsp;watch it boot up. Do you know any trick to copy the text as it does, so I can post it? Thanks -ken

I use PuTTY or KiTTY for my console connections. Both have the same &nbsp;option to copy the output. Make sure your window is large enough to capture all of the startup.&nbsp;
I believe you have an ability to attach a file to the post -- save the output as a text file.&nbsp;Both also do logging to a file.

Oh, I didn't know about the serial port.

Computer is booting, SAC started and initialized.
Use the "ch -?" command for information about using channels.Use the "?" command for general help.
SAC&gt;

It would be interesting, but looks like your ReadyNAS 3100 is trying to boot Windows Server instead of trying to boot RAIDiator 4.2.&nbsp;
If you put disks in there that are used, please issue a factory default to setup the ReadyNAS.
If you have existing data on those disks, maybe consider finding out if you still need that data.&nbsp;
SAC is Special Administration Console for WIndows Server -- not ReadyNAS.&nbsp;
