Hi farf,
Update this thread with more information if you have issues with the replacement unit or mark this thread closed if you don't have any.

Hello,
I live in France and in August France and myself are on holidays :)
So I'll just receive the new chassis on Monday. I'll keep you informed on Tuesday.

Hello,
Is there a way to make the replacement chassis running with my two hard drives without losing my data, configuration etc ?
I just inserted my two hard drives in the replacement chassis and booted up, but I'm unable to connect to the administration console.
The good point is that the boot menu is fully functional... but I'm afraid I'll have to flush my disks ?
Regards,
Romain

Hi farf,
Do you have access to your files? Does your ReadyNAS show up in the RAIDar utility (if you have it installed) on your computer?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help.
My NAS does not show in RAIDar. My router does not even log DHCP request from the MAC adress of the NAS. I think I read somewhere that the NAS does not boot if the disk are not "recognised" as the ones of the NAS or formatted ones.
I imagine I could try to mount the hard disk under another Linux system to backup my files... but I'd like to avoid it ! Isn't there a way to make the new chassis recognize the disks of the former chassis ?
