I do not know if the firmware I have has a tech support mode - the closest seems to be the factory boot option. It has the following modes per http://www.readynas.com/download/docume ... AS-LED.pdf. Although I must say that I have never been able to get into the memory test mode at all.
If I release the power button after the first flash, the system does show that there are no connected disks but Raidar does not detect it. I removed all disks for the time being. Should Raidar detect it or is there some other way to tell? Although I am able to gracefully shut down the system at this point.
I am wondering if I should install on old version of Firefox and see if it can connect to the IP?
Power switch pressed while power on
1st Blink at 5th second: Factory boot option, do not use
2nd Blink at 10th second: TFTP Boot / Setup TFTP server at 192.168.125.1 with kernel_conf, initrd_conf and service files
3rd Blink at 15th second: Factory boot option, do not use (Please press front power button to gracefully shutdownand reboot NAS if you run into it by mistake)
4th Blink at 20th second: USB Boot Use Raw-writer service images from tech support.
5th Blink at 25th second: Memory test: See above memory test LED patterns for test progress and result readings.
6th Blink at 50th second: TFTP recovery (System will start to boot at 53rd second even you keep pressing power switch) / Setup TFTP server at 192.168.125.1 with kernel_init, initrd_init and recovery images
