I recently acquired this older Terastation - the original owner had removed all four drives. I installed four 250gb drives (I know the original configuration had four 160gb drives) that had been working in a different Terastation (HD-H1.0TGL/R5). I naively expected the NAS to recognize the drives (installed in the same order as they had been in the other NAS), but such was not the case.
The spinning disk lights on the NAS continue for several minutes and when the spin stops, the DIAG light blinks six times followed by a pause and then repeats. The cooling fan also stops running at this point. The four disk lights stay on steady. I am unable to access the drive either by the web interface, nor does the Firmware Updater see the NAS. I am unable to ping the device (192.168.11.150) after pressing the INIT button on the rear of the box.
I've placed the NAS into EM. There's no sound heard, but the DIAG and POWER lights blink in unison. Only two of the disk lights illuminate (Disks 1 and 2 ... IDE drive/cable problem?). I am still unable to ping the NAS, and Force Update of the firmware doesn't work. I'm using a notebook (192.168.11.100) connected to the NAS via a X-Over cable.
Any suggestions for recovery or is this device bricked beyond recovery? There's no data on the drives worthy of recovery, so all options are open to me.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
