ReadyNAS Pro 6 with 6.4 reporting a status of "Dead"
As the subject says, since putting 6.4 on, the system status is "Dead." Oddly enough, everything seems to be fine except the case fan is not running very much. Temps seem fine so that might be a feature...but the reporting system isn't happy about a fan going 0RPM.
Anyone else?
Thanks for the info, this fixed the issue. I opened up my ReadyNAS Pro 6 and moved the System FAN connector to the unused slot, and the FAN doesn't stop anymore (and I no longer get FAN warnings/errors).
In Step 2 on the page below you can see the slot circled in.

Dear mdgm,
Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, the proposed solution in the link you provided did not apply in my case.
Also, I don't know why the URL I inserted above says "", but here it is again: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Fan-CPU-in-enclosure-Internal-speed-is-below-threshold-after-FW/m-p/990867#M94923
EDIT: I think my problem may stem from the early days of OS6 where we had to hack the performance tab with fancontrol and other mods to get that information to display properly. . .
It seems like a number of people are having the issue since 6.4 who hadn't before. I know historically there have been issues with 6.x and fans from legecy boxes, but I've never had that problem until now. I also didn't see any good solution...did I miss something? Also, everyone else seems to have the error on their CPU fan. Mine is on the case fan. Strange!
Thanks.

RE: I also didn't see any good solution...did I miss something?
Answer: If you did, then so did I. I think our only course of action at this point is to just wait for the next update to be coded / tested and released. I've see a few suggestions here and there. Unfortunately, none of them have worked for me :manfrustrated:
- I have the same issue, but my system fan has stopped completely after the upgrade to 6.4. I've also had problems before with previous versions. Can this be a hw issue, maybe use the warranty?
- Probably not a hardware issue. If you restart your device you will most likely see the fan turn on. That is what I'm seeing anyhow.
