-There is a problem with poweroff which results into a reboot, which is eventually related to the RTC, which is working on the I2C bus. See the following thread for some insight: **[[https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.ports.arm/c/Vb-uE7Emj_k|Debian Jessie on QNAP TS-112P - Reboot instead of shutdown]]**. Check also the **qcontrol** tool, which does have an **rtc on** option.
+The **problem was solved** by powering off the QNAP, **unplugging the power** connector and removing the inside clock battery (this last operation may be not necessary).
+If the module is loaded and working, you can read the pseudofile **/proc/driver/rtc**:

+===== Cooling Fan =====
+The original fan is **50x50x15 mm** and is marked as:
+  * **Y.S. TECH**
+  * **FD125015LB**
+  * **DC12V 0.085A**
+The pinout of the QNAP TS-120 fan is:
+^ PIN  ^ Color  ^ Function  ^
+|  1 | Black   | Ground  |
+|  2 | Yellow  | +12 v DC  |
+|  3 | Green   | Tachometer (sense) signal  |
+|  4 | Blue    | PWM control signal  |
+This is the **standard pinout of a CPU fan** with PWM speed control an tachometer sensor:
+^ PIN  ^ Color   ^ Function          ^
+|    1 | Black   | Ground            |
+|    2 | Red     | +12 v DC          |
+|    3 | Yellow  | Tachometer Sense  |
+|    4 | Blue    | PWM Control       |
+To control the fan speed you can use the **qcontrol** tool:
+<code>
+qcontrol fanspeed {stop|silence|low|medium|high|full}
+</code>
+===== Automatic power-on =====
+To enable automatic power-on when power is restored (if the device was not powered down correctly):
+<code>
+qcontrol --direct autopower on
+</code>
+===== Temperature sensor =====
