ReadyNAS LED patterns
http://www.readynas.com/forum/faq.php#What_does_this_light_pattern_mean%3F_%28LED%29 Check our FAQ, HCL and more
- Sep 11, 2008Until I post the FAQ, here is the info for reference:
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration

I have been scanning these threads for an overview of the LED Patterns for the ReadyNAS Duo as I have seen so many different patterns since getting my Duo yesterday evening. In the meantime I have done a factory reset, tried a TFTP Flash Recovery and even got instructions and links to USB recovery tools from the Ready NAS hotline (which I have now performed twice).
Each attempt has led to different patterns, but in the meantime I can't even locate the Duo with the RAIDar tool. Right now I have had the power LED blinking roughly 1x per second and the HD1 and HD2 lamps blinking synchronously every three seconds. I'm going to let it run overnight (again), but I would certainly appreciate it if someone could post a list of the various LED codes for the ReadyNAS Duo.
