TS-210 and 2nd drive connection

Post by joffa »

Hi,
After a longer periode of issues with DNS on my QNAP, I created a support ticket with QNAP.
After a lengthy TeamViewer session, the technician concluded with a faulty NIC. Weird, as all services on the LAN runs as intended.
Anyway, I decided to try my old Seagate baracuda disks and see if I could have the DNS function after a re-initializing. However, anytime I connect a hard drive(with spinning disks) in bay 1, the NAS refuses to start. Just a barely visible orange LED on bay 1 LED.
SSD disk does not replicate this issue.

I have now set up a 'new installastion' with a SSD connected in bay 1. No problems(if we ignore the fact that 250gigs is a bit on the short side in terms of storage). I turn the NAS off, and install a hard drive in bay 2, and boot:
Status-LED flashes green-red, fan spools up to max, two beeps, fan stops, and the NAS shuts down. Repeat. When I remove the hard disk, it boots normaly and I'm able to log in the to NAS within minutes.

Help. I can't fathom what has transpired since I just removed the SSD in bay 1, and HDD in bay 2 to try another disk.
I have tried to hold the reset button while booting whit HDD in bay 2

As the operating system is on the disk(s).. try to format both harddrives ..start from scratch and restore the data from external backups

See if that lets your NAS run smoothly
