Since this is a new setup, I would put one disk in the NAS, update to latest RAIDiator (currently 4.2.17: http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_17_Notes), then power down, put all the disks in and do a factory reset using the boot menu (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu), discover the NAS using RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads) during the 10 minute countdown and select X-RAID2 and check the dual-redundancy option, then confirm your selection. This will give you a clean setup on the latest firmware using X-RAID2 dual-redundancy.
