QNAP TS-209 Pro II NAS

Disassembling the TS-209 Pro II is remarkably simple since everything is held in place by a few screws. Starting with the back and side, the chassis cover and be removed to expose the internals.

Everything is a tight fit at the rear. The 70mm fan is 20mm thick and almost butts up against the hard drive cage. Removing a few more screws, the hard drive power, SATA cable and fan power plug allows us to pull out the hard drive cage, exposing the motherboard.

The 70mm fan is made by Bi-Sonic. The model is SP702012L and it’s a sleeve bearing fan creating 24.5 CFM with 26dBA of noise.

The motherboard is protected from the drive cage by a thin sheet of plastic.

As noted in the specifications, the board is powered by Marvell. The RAM is supplied by Hynix: HY5PS121621C PP-Y5 709AA.

It probably doesn’t come as a surprise for QNAP to also use a Marvell network controller. Here we have the Marvell 88E1118-NNC1. Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot of information on this chip.

All of these components appear to be assembled on a custom PCB: Q013 Version 2.0 PCB P/N: 20006-S00696-RS.

After I re-assembly everything, let’s move on to the installation of the hard drives.
