RNDP2220 - 100NAS Wont' Power Up
After replacing the power supply, my ReadyNAS RNDP2220 just keeps cycling off and on. I checked the volatge and its good but the device just won't stay on. Any advice will be greatly appreciated....
It is certainly possible that the inrush current of your failing drive was more than the NAS could handle, maybe more like "likely". You may want to make sure your backup is up to date and wait a while to see you don't get any other 12V problems reported before you decide to replace the bad drive. If there is something more wrong and you end up needing to replace the NAS, the backup will be needed and you may want to invest in bigger drives.
Thanks for the reply.
I removed the drives and the unit powers up just fine. I installed the one drive that is "healthy" and the unit is still powered up ok. Wonder if the drive that was going bad could have caused the issue along with a bad power brick?
