ReadyNAS round 3: Fatality!

Today went much better than yesterday. I turned the ReadyNAS on and at first the fan only spun slowly. After it started getting past the early boot stages it spun up and stayed at high RPM. The problem is not entirely fixed. The OS doesn’t seem to recognize the fan, so I can’t get metrics on fan speed, and if the fan stops, I won’t know until it overheats and shuts down. However, it seems to be working ok since 7am when I started it. I did seems to get warm around 6:45pm but seems to be alright since. Frankly, I’d be surprised if it stays up the entire time we are gone. I think that either the fan is flaky or the motherboard is having issues. My hope is to have Infrant send a new fan tomorrow and install it when I get home from the trip. If that fan doesn’t work then I’ll start thinking it’s more than just bad luck with fans.
