The last post in this thread says that ReadyAS resolved their problem by changing an option in the BIOS. The ReadyNAS Ultra 4 (RNDU4000) does not have a VGA header on the motherboard. It does have 4 pins on the back that I'm assuming are for a serial connection. Does anyone know if the BIOS can be accessed that way (IE: watching the boot process via a terminal and using a keybaord plugged into one of the USB ports)?
This isn't something I've tried, but there is a blog post here that might help you with that: https://gist.github.com/davewongillies/6481138
Once you get the port functional, you can see the boot process, and use a usb keyboard.
Going to give that a shot and will post how it goes. Was hoping that there was something easier or simple that I was missing but if not, in the end, a $10 cable is much cheaper than a new UPS.
