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
- Until 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
Ah, I should have read your post properly. To re-seat the SO-DIMM take a look at http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/how_do_i_replace_the_stock_memory_module_on_the_readynas_nv
It is best to run the memory test a few times.
If the memory has failed you could replace it, but if there is data corruption from using incompatible memory NetGear won't be able to help recover your data.
So if you get a replacement module get one that matches the specs and layout of the stock module as closely as possible (you can use modules up to 1GB in capacity), run the memory test a few times before trusting it. Even then it might not be O.K. So you might wish to power down, remove your drives (label order) and put a spare disk (not from your array). Give it perhaps a week or two of heavy use and if it appears to be working fine and nothing shows up in the logs to suggest bad memory then the memory probably is O.K. Power down, remove the spare disk, put the disks back in (same order as before) and power on.
