RN104 will not power up
I have two of these RN104 units. I powered both down to tidy up some wiring. One of the units will not power up again. I believe the power down was successful and have no reason to believe the disks ...
The problem is the external power supply.
For future reference, can anyone answer my question? Is it possible to move JBOD disks from one RN104 to another?
Yes. All the configuration information is on the drives, not in flash. You can move a volume to any other OS6 based ReadyNAS with enough slots, actually, and, if the move was temporary, you can later put back in that NAS's volume and it will be unaffected with one possible exception. That is, that between the OS version on the volume and in flash, the newest will "win". So if one of the NAS has an older version than the other, the end result will be that it will be updated.
Replacement supplies are not hard to find as long as you don't insist on a Netgear labeled one. But not all supplies that use the 4-pin DIN plug wire it the same, so check the pin-out diagram or use one listed for use on a ReadyNAS or a Synology DS410/411/412, which will also work and typically has a slightly higher output amperage rating.
