How do I replace the stock fan on the ReadyNAS NV?
For those wanting to reduce the main fan speed further, this FAQ will give you the info necessary to find a replacement fan that meets the specs required from the fan driver circuitry on the NV mainboard. We believe current our fan selection is optimal for operating temperature and noise. Therefore we do not recommend replacing the fan. Please notice that noise also comes from a smaller fan embedded in the power supply units (PSU). PSU fan makes a louder high pitch noise when the main fan does not provide enough air flow. For those with earlier ReadyNAS NV units affected by the Service Action Notice (03/2006), after updating to RAIDiator 2.00c1-p9, installing the fan adapter, and installing the add-on to reset the NV fan speed (see http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2874 ), your fan should operate at about 1900 RPM at idle. This is the same RPM as the currently shipping ReadyNAS NV. Please make sure to follow the guidelines to ensure that you do not reduce the life of the fan
