READYNAS RNDU4000 chassi is dead

My RNDU4000 chassi has died. My discs is well I hope. I found one answer, https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Readynas-Ultra-4/m-p/1653605#M17972

 

There you recommend RN424 and RN524X. I wonder if it is possible to use RN214 instead?

If you are asking if you can directly mount a volume in a 4.2.x system in an RN214, then the answer is no.  That requires an x64 OS-6 NAS (RN300 series or better).

 

Note this only allows you to temporarily mount the volume (as read-only).  You'd then need to offload the data to other storage, and do a full factory install on the new NAS.  The disks will be formatted as part of the install (destroying the current files).

On the other hand, if your Ultra was converted to OS-6, then you could migrate it to an RN214.  Though it would be better to migrate it to an x86 NAS (certainly easier if you have apps installed).

Does it look like the power supply?  Or something else?
