NVX Business Edition RNDX4210 won't power on
I recently powered down NVX and removed cables and bays before unscrewing and removing sides and top covers and cleaning dust with compressed air can. I've done this successfully before, following a ...
The cheapest way is to modify the cable pinout yourself to adapt it to the NVX. http://www.readynas.com/download/archive/pdf/ReadyNAS_PSU_pinout.pdf
This isn't the cheapest, but avoids that hurdle and should fit: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm £60 excl VAT&PP
Thanks, it was that explanation that I needed but to be clear, I understand that the existing -12V on 12 and the -5V on 18 will be snipped, tied back, not used. And then those connectors will be substituted with a +12V source. Does that mean I can tie pin 10 +12V to the stubs from pins 12 and 18? Os that single 12V source sufficient for what was three sources? Although I suspect in the supply all three +12 tied to a single output.

Yes, all three MUST be tied to the same thing in the supply. But the three wires are there for the current capacity, especially the connectors. If you are going to solder, then you would reduce the resistance on one side by having three pins and not lose much in the splice. If you are just planning to twist them together, you are worse off doing that than leaving just the one wire, as the resistance of the splice will be higher than the gain in the redundant pins. Whether one is enough would depend on the current draw of the drives. I wouldn't count on it for long term, especially with older, power-hungrier drives. The better way would be to connect Pin 12 of a 24-pin connector in place of one of the removed ones. For the best connection, pull the pin and swap it, don't cut and splice.
