The fans on my Synology NAS were acting up, and so I bought some
replacement fans. I figured for grins I'd try and open it up and
lubricate the old fans, see if that would make a difference in the month
it'll take to get the new ones via slow boat from China.
Took off the case with 5 screws. The back panel came off with another 3.
Fans were held in place by 4 nylon screws per fan. Removed the fans,
did a deep de-dusting of the fans, heat sinks and inside the chassis,
then carefully removed the labels from the fans and put 2 drops
of oil into each fan's axle.
Everything went back together, the fans are quieter, the fan that would
stop working momentarily is working normally, and I didn't break
anything or have screws left over!
