  • Why do you even suspect there is an updated BIOS anywhere?  Netgear has never stated that there is nor any way to obtain it if there is.

      FYI, this is from bios_ver.log on a 3220 I have:

       

      /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date
      ::::::::::::::
      07/08/2013
      ::::::::::::::
      /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version
      ::::::::::::::
      4.6.5
      ::::::::::::::

       

      That's only about 3 years before the 3220's replacement, the 3312, came out.

      Netgear has never said what the latest BIOS is or how to upgrade if yours isn't the latest.  That's the case with all OS6 native ReadyNAS.

       

      The BIOS doesn't normally adjust the fan speed, the OS does.  OS6 uses a modified version of lm_sensors.

        Thanks! My RN3220's fans keep pulsing its rpms up and down and hover around 2200rpm. I'm trying to lower the fan speed and keep the fans steady. I can access the RN3220.conf sensors file and min fan speed is already set to 400.
