ReadyNAS RN 104 Automatic FAN-Control
Hi All,
I have a Big Problem with my New (2 Weeks old) ReadyNAS 104.
When i have a look at the WEB-UI under the Performance TAB i see the FAN is always running at only ~875 rpm.
After a fresh start, the FAN is about 11200-1400 rpm, that looks normal i think. But then after 10 Minutes, its again down at 875 rpm.
My Disk are permanently at 44C degrees, and my CPU ist all the Time at about 60-65C degrees.
It looks like that pwm is not working correctly, or not configured correctly.
PWM is working fine, i tried it with pwmconfig at Console Level.
Do you have any Ideas whre i can Check that?

- Hi ...
Why do you think this is a problem ??
Looks normal to me ...
Andrew - Hi,
The Temperatures look a little bit to high to me, espacially the one from the Disks, i have another System, and there the Disks are permanently at about 31C degrees.
At the Moment its really hot here (Munich, Germany), and i thought, it should be at least go up a little with the FAN Speed, but i never heard it speed up since i have bought it.
Greetz Sebastian - Hi..
Do you have the same model disk in both systems ?
My 104 is running at about the same temperature and fan speed as yours .. (both in the same room iMac CPU 64c HD 46c .., NAS104 CPU 63c HD 45c Fan 835 )
Andrew - HI,
no, in my readynas i have 4 3TB WD RED Disks (5400rpm), and in my other System 4 Hitachi 2TB 24/7 Disks (7200rpm)
I would think that the faster Disks should get warmer than the WD Red Disks.
Sebastian - Ok.
I'm Running 3 * 3T Seagate drive . Disk 1 = 44c , 2 = 48c , 3 =44c
Don't think temperature is a problem ..
Have you had any problems with your 104 locking up ?? , I have an open case with NTG but no making much progress..
Andrew - Today we had 35C degrees and my Processor was at 70C Degrees and my disks at 47 for disk 1 and 4 and 51 for disk 2 and 3.
And the FAN was at 875rpm :(
Thats not normal i think.
And personally i have my disks as cool as possible.
Greetz Sebastian - Is there a Way to tune the built-in Fan Control?
Sebastian - You CAN try to install fancontrol and tune fan speed at your own risk

FAN Speed will increase when disk temperature up to 48C Degrees,
for Seagate HDD, it add 5C Degrees, so if your system installed Seagate disk, FAN speed will increase when disk temperature up to 53C Degrees.super-poussin wrote: You CAN try to install fancontrol and tune fan speed at your own risk
HI,
thanks for that, i tried it today, but im stuck at the point to start fancontrol at bootup. Everytime i had to start it manually after reboot.
How can this be done on the 104?
Thx Sebastian
