More on CPU specs of the ReadyNAS Pro
Hi all, Does anyone know what FSB speeds the ReadyNAS Pro motherboard supports. I have three "servers" that I'm trying to consolidate. I figured that the file server (which is actually the slowe...
First download the logs, look in bios_ver.log and see if you are already running the latest BIOS. Then if you are running an old BIOS you would need to install the add-on to update the BIOS.
To see what the latest BIOS version is and to get the add-on see http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=387035#p387035

Hi MDGM,
I have a Pro 6 (-100) version where the bios_ver.log shows 10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6 as my current BIOS.
I am currently running OS 6.2.4 already successfully with the stock CPU, but now I would like to upgrade the CPU to either a Q6600 or an E7600. I understand I need to upgrade the BIOS to at least V2.0.
I understand there is a BIOS UPDATE PACKAGE_0.5.bin that CHIRPA has posted in this thread, but .BIN files are not recognized by OS6 (debian only?)
You briefly mentioned the process to get the BIOS updated by doing some type of conversion, but it wasn't clear to me. If you could provide some detailed steps to do so, I would greatly appreciate it!
Lastly I'm still torn between the Q6600 CPU or the E7600 CPU. My intent here is to host a Plex Media server for the home as well as my Logitech Media Server. Anythoughts on which of these two would be better for these type of servers?
Thank you!

I haven't tried this personally - as with all things of the internet - proceed with caution.
