RND2110-100NAS installation problems
Hi. I purchased the above unit off of eBay about 12 months ago. I plugged it in when I received it, it powered up then I put it on a shelf This week I purchased two WD20EARS-00S8B1 2TB HDDs to ...
Thank you. Installed the two HDDs, Raidar found the new unit, currently updating firmware.
Appears I am in business.
Appreciate the help.
Today I did poower down (had to remove power cord) then power up. Power light is solid blue but the remaining front panel lights are lit and blinking in unison: one slow - one slow - three fast; one slow - one slow - three fast; etc.
Thanks.

The decoder ring for the blinking LEDs is
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by an 1s delay
, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 - Vendor mismatch
2 - No disks detected
3 - Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 - Flash error
5 - Unsupported RAID configuration
So it sounds like your system isn't detecting the disks. You can confirm that with RAIDar ( https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar )
Use the old version of RAIDar (4.3.8), as it is more compatible with your legacy NAS.
Thank you very mich. I did not re-insert the two HDDs so right now the unit is diskless and the error code of two slow flashes indicates so much.
I did install the 4.3.8 version of Raidar and this NAS we are discussing was located as was my existing Netgear NAS.
In Raidar v4.3.8, the buttons for set-up, browse and format are grayed out on the "problem child" NAS but all buttons are "available" for my existing NAS. Should I re-insert the two HDDs and see what happens?
And I cannot log-in to the NAS..but I am able to log-in to my existing Netgear NAS.
The OS is installed onto the disks, so you can't do anything if the unit has no disks inserted.
