ReadyNAS Duo v2 Flashing Backup LED
Hi, I am having a problem with one of my ReadyNAS Duo v2 units. Firmware version is 5.3.11. I powered down via the Dashboard web interface. When I powered back up about 10minutes later th...
You cannot just put the disks into the 102, they will be wiped.
Your best option if you have another duo v2 is to use that chassis to access the data and copy it to the new 102 when it is set up. Make sure the firmware on the working duo v2 is up to date first.
Dont mix the disks up and label them ( the ones from the broken duo and those in the working duo) according to slot number.
In between mine and your post, I found my way inside.
It is; Side panels off, then rear panel off to gain access to the mainboard. However, there are no socketed chips on the main board.
While I was inside, (clutching at straws), I changed the backup battery on the off chance. It made no difference. (wasn't really expecting it to).
I have ordered a second RN102 diskless and two disks, hopefully they will be delivered tomorrow. Is there anyway to migrate the disks from the Duo into the RN102 without data loss? So that I can then upgrade capacity with the new disks.
I do also have another Duo v2 and an RN102.

I thought that might be the way.
So if I do that, I assume there won't be a problem putting the second Duo v2's original disks back afterwards?
That should be fine. Best to have a backup first though as when you handle disks bare you can damage them without realising it through electro-static discharge.
Just checking to confirm:
When I swap the disks over on the Duo v2, I do it with it shutdown.
