I explained it to you in post #2 of this same thread.
So you did, mea culpa.
Replacing stock OS on QNAP/Synology/etc. amd64 machines

It isn't a usb stick that you are used to. It connects to a usb header and it is the raised board to the right of ...
Oh I see! :-/ Do you know if it's a standard motherboard USB header? Could I grab a cable for a motherboard header (something like this) and connect a normal USB stick?

I never tried it but I assume it is a normal usb header. The usb header "drive" they are using is not a custom qnap part.

OK great, thanks for the information, it's much appreciated.

I found an old Qnap https://www.qnap.com/de-de/pro…259%20pro+/specs/hardware and wonder, if OMV would run fine on this device.
What about fan control?
Thx so far!

probably be ok. I would upgrade it from 1GB of ram to 2GB (max for the one slot) though.
What about fan control?
Doubtful since that is usually a custom kernel driver. That said, I have run OMV on a few QNAPs and the fan has never been loud.

If you switch the device on, fans are horribly loud...the are more silenced after booting automatically?
But thanks so far, ryecoaaron
My employer is going to bin this device, so I am going to save it
Lets see whats going on with it, I ĺl report

I don't remember any of mine being loud on boot and they definitely aren't loud when running.

I have that model. Works good - even in 64 bit mode.
you might want to install lm-sensors and fancontrol. Fan works without it, but is too noisy (for me).

I had four experiences about qnap refurbishing through omv, casaos, debian, or at last xpenology which isn't really legal.
I have all time dismount the DOM 512mb bios and replace by an USB adaptator for a 32Gb or more USB key.
Omv isn't too dangerous for this kind of media, and USB key can boot many time before any crash or damage.
Qnap ts-269L xpenology upgrade memory to 2*4gb ddr3l (more than original) and USB adapter with 64gb USB key.
I choose Synology x64 hardware plateform for running xpenology with ds923+ base.
The only things bad is to put fake hardware HDMI plug, because xpenology doesn't give capabilities booting without console. It's a good workaround.
I have also a qnap ts-251e with 8go ram and 128Gb of USB key with adaptator instead of DOM 512mb.
I have debian 13 and cassos for building a reverse proxy, docker software, mail server, in order to replace yunohost from another machine.
Third machine is a qnap 4 bays ts-464 upgraded to 16gb RAM and PCI card with SSD nvme 512gb boot disk instead of DOM 512mb.
I put inside omv to give a replicate machine for network backup of my old people club.
My last but not least machine will be again a qnap ts-269l already obsolet but with great capabilities with xpenology.
If somebody needs information about hardware equipements used in these projects, ask me.
I make many workaround in refurbish project to give new lives for obsolet hardware.
