10 minutes to boot

Is it normal that after a complete power down (flip power switch on the back) it can take up to 10 minutes before my ReadyNas Pro Pioneer begins booting?

Basically I shutdown to replace a loose drive and when I plugged it back in, nothing happened. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and it randomly started up.

Is this normal?

    No, it should come up much quicker than that. Is all your data ok?
  • All my data is fine. But it's weird that it takes so long to turn on. No fans or anything for about 10 minutes, then all of a sudden everything comes to life

    I'd probably contact support. It shouldn't be acting that way.
