RN31600
Hi all
I have a RN31600 which does not start booting anymore.
Bought it in 2014.
My question now is. Shall i buy a new one or is he repairable? Maybe power supply failure.
Second if not repairable in one way or another i'm i able to transfer disks to a new one without loosing
data?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
best

Yes. You can migrate the disks to any OS-6 NAS that has enough bays. Ideally that would be an x86 NAS (RN300 series or above).
This assumes that the array was not damaged when the RN316 failed.

Hopefully Sandshark will chime in.
It certainly would be cheaper than replacing the NAS. You'd have to find one that fits (and has the right specs).

What are the symptoms when you try to boot? Are you seeing text on the LCD panel (or any lights)?
If you are, then try removing the disks (labeling by slot), and see if the NAS boots with a "no disks" status.
I haven't seen any posts here from someone with a failed PSU in their RN316 - but it should be replaceable.
hi
thank you very much for quick reply.
no lights at all, nothing.
