RN31200 stuck in power cycle loop
When I connect my NAS to power, the fans kick on and the front LEDs begin to blink as if it were booting up normally. But then the fans shut off and the lights go dark. After a few seconds the fans start up again, and the LEDs blink. This keeps repeating and never reaches a full powered on, booted up state.
A search of these forums and google in general hasn't turned up anything obvious. Any clues?

- What if you try to boot up your NAS without disks inside, will the NAS stay on? Be sure to label the disks from its respective bays from which you have pulled-out.
- Without the disks, it powers up as soon as its connected to power (which is new, by the way, I usually had to press the power button first), and it stays on, but the power button LED flashes. I can shut it off by holding down the power button for four seconds. If I disconnect it from power (while off) then reconnect it, it powers on automatically.
I can't tell if the chassis is broken, or if the disks are corrupt. I have a spare chassis that's being brought up from storage. - Figured it out.
There's a bunch of equipment on the same bench, including a Netgear switch. The plug for the switch looks exactly like the plug for the NAS, if you don't follow it back and examine the AC adapter (hidden behind the bench).
Strange behaviour for a low-power draw state. - Such occurrence happens sometimes... good thing you have figured it out. :D
