ReadyNAS Ultra 2 wont start

My ultra 2 has been working fine since May of last year. Now i lost Contact with the unit and when i re-started it the Power led is blue but none of the HDD leds are lit. What should i do? Try the OS install from the BOOT meny? Or the "skip volume check"? Please help as i am not used to dealing with these kinds of trouble and i want to be VERY careful not to screw things up.

    Hi again, I have booted the unit and performed an OS reinstall. All the LEDs on the unit then went black but the unit is operating (or at least the fan is). It does not respond to pressing the Power button. how long should it take to make an OS reinstall?
