Last night I added a 2nd drive to my DNS-320L. Everything looked good. Formatted and mounted. Started copy ~500GB of files to in and went to sleep. This morning I found the copy had failed part of the way. After I couldn't open the mountpoint, I checked and saw there wasn't any power to the DNS-320L.

After powering up and logging in, I see it says the internal temperature reached 135-degrees and it shut down. No the unit isn't blocked in any way that restricts airflow.

So, what should I do?

As I was typing this, I just noticed the fan isn't moving. Is it supposed to always spin or just on demand?

Link>Welcome!

What Hardware version is your DNS? Look at the sticker behind or under the device.
Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the DNSs web page under status.
What region are you located?

Can you check the fan settings in the UI to see if you can change the fan speed at all?

I recommend regardless of internal fan settings, get you one of these to place under the DNS:
