There's a 9-pin serial connection on the back, can you use that connection to a terminal to see anything?

I had the same problem after changing the disk setup from RAID-0 to RAID-5.
If you remove some of the harddisks (keep at least one) before booting, the system comes up again and is reachable for config changes.
I also had problems then with LAN1 card (did not get a ip address from DHCP anymore, only 0.0.0.0). So I connected the Fastora NAS to LAN2. I was very surprised that the fastora filer tool did find the Fastora NAS connected with LAN2 configured to a wrong fixed IP-address that wouldn't work in my network. Fastora filer was able to remote change the IP-Settings for LAN2 card and now all works fine!

Sounds like a software problem with your BlackArmor or perhaps a failing drive. You might contact a low cost data recovery service such as http://FreeDataRecovery.us
They perform online data recovery over the internet and also offer do-it-yourself data recovery advice.
Quick tip: when accessing the NAS-T2 from Linux, mount any NAS-T2 shares using smbfs, not cifs.
More detail: This tip presumes you're familiar with mounting filesystems in Linux and are trying to mount an NAS-T2 share in Linux. The older smbfs filesystem type for mounting Windows shares is deprecated in favor of the newer cifs filesystem type. However, the NAS-T2 is built on some older flavor of Windows and behaves very oddly when mounted as a cifs filesystem. Changing back to the older smbfs filesystem type solved all my problems.
Try ths driver solution out, it is the highest satifaction rating on the web. It helped fix most of my driver update issues and I still use it as part of my everyday work tool. It' s very useful and easy. Hope it helps you out.
Turn off the NAS. Press AND HOLD power button for about 30 secs. That will force a hard reset and reset the unit to factory defaults. You will lose all data on drives that are plugged in at the moment. If they are in an ejected state, it may save your data, but I have not tried that.
It all depends on how mission critical this NVR is, (and how much money you have to spend)
A good rule of thumb is the more redundancy the better, so in theory, if you have the money, you should buy the second NVR, however if you cant afford an entire second unit, you should look at doing hard drive backups of that unit.
If you have any more question, please let me know!
Probably the NAS got the same IP address of the router/switch. Something like 192.168.1.1. Try changing your router default IP address to 192.168.1.3. Look for the NAS now.
