Error 29, System fan doesn't work

Hello,
I have a problem with notice Error 29, system fan doesn’t work. It will takes always, when I’m somewhere out of NAS and I can’t check if it works. Always when I check the NAS, it works. Do you have any idea what is that?

Thanks

I had the same error Code 0029 and daily email Alert: Fan Not Working. The diagnostics shows 0 fan speed but normal 42/44 deg C.

After a few to-and-fro of emails they suggested the following:

First, to clarify the fan is cooling the CPU of the system and not the drives, so the temperature of the drives is not relevant to the issue…

Make sure to follow all the steps on the article below including the factory reset of the system which will erase all files on the unit.
(Also make sure to back up your data before performing the factory rest)

If after all these steps the issue persists you can continue with replacing the unit by following the RMA instructions.

The email alerts continued after resetting the unit and sent it back under a RMA. Still waiting for replacement unit :roll_eyes:
