I believe the control board and components are substandard and are prone to failure perhaps from overheating, perhaps substandard construction and parts, perhaps from poor circuit design or all the above.

The problem I’ve had with Iomega is their accepting the design of the ix2 (predecessor of the ix2-200) is flawed.

When this happens, you can no longer reset or turn off the unit with the power button – just unplug it!! Took me a while to remove the drives and verify they were good – removed them, bought a THERMALTAKE unit and loaded Ext2 IFS for Windows ( )to read the drives and move the data to another backup. I’ve had mine about 18 months when I experienced the ‘blinking blue light’ behavior. I don’t know if this is of interest on the ix2. Now to FIX the email notification port and configuration… Initial look tells me that it doesn’t use sendmail Here’s how you get SSH access to your ix2. You will lose the ability to get email updates from the unit… This is a gem – exhange? Oh – and because it can’t possibly all be good.

Hopefully it now recognizes it! Torrent movies and pr0n. While your doing that – Might as well sign up for the Iomega Support Forums Lots of moderated fun in there…īackup your data. Or an alias that forwards to your real email that you can shut down after you hit accept. It’s not nearly as bad as Cisco is – but you have to get a valid email. Other bad news is you’re going to have to sign up to the Iomega site with an email. This means that while your desktop is off and not using 500watts an hour your little ix2 can stay busy getting ‘the latest release of Fedora’***. The good news is that along with potentially fixing the UPS not recognized problem, you will get the torrent downloader. The latest firmware would be 2.9 or higher. You hit ‘update’ and your device tells you that you have the latest firmware! You don’t. Iomega Link to all the files and info for the Storcenter ix2 Not with the fan though – you’re clever, you’ll come up with something. Even after you use a crazy Google search like this… Every time you try to search for Iomega Storcenter ix2 (or maybe storecenter?) you get a thousand ‘re-view’s’ of how awesome it is and nothing about helping you solve issues or fix problems. So – Are you having a problem where your Storcenter ix2 won’t recognize your Uninterruptible Power Supply?įinal Problem #3. Fresh USB cable plugged in and – nothing. I finally obtained a Tripp Lite UPS and replaced the battery on it. Enable write caching and don’t worry when the power goes out when your in Tahiti. Having a ‘self aware’ storage device is pretty cool.

I have been looking for a USB aware UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for this device from day one. *cough **For reasons of ‘search’ the next model up is the ‘eye ex two hundred’ Let the sexy laptops and iPods take the credit while the hacked Linux device with wires and fans all over it gets the job done. It’s goofy looking utilitarian hardware that needs to be in the closet.

It’s a 80mm PC fan bolted to the back of a $200 NAS drive. It’s already back in the closet, so I’m not getting a picture of it… Hell, you don’t want to see a picture of it. I put an over-sized ultra quiet fan with a dust filter on it. You can see that Iomega took a complete 180 when they came out with “ the new model“** What I suggest is you get out your Dremel and cut a nice hole in the back panel. Along with the fan the airflow through the device is just as bad. The fan is horrible and you probably have already done something about it.

Then I found out that they were discontinuing the model because of some pretty obvious problems. I picked up this little guy a little more then a year ago for some cheap money. I’m talking about the (EMC) Iomega Storecenter ix2.

Cold and wandering through the internets looking for something about how to mod and update this device. I’m posting this basically because I know others are out there on your own.
