You can move the disks to any OS-6 ReadyNAS (with the NAS powered down). Note that if the replacement NAS is running different firmware, the boot loader will compare the versions. If the RN3130 was running an older version of 6.10.x, the OS on the disks will be upgraded to the version in the new ReadyNAS flash. If the RN3130 was running a newer version of 6.10.x, the OS in the flash will be upgraded to the version on the disks.
If you haven't used the replacement NAS in a while, you might want to do an installation with a scratch (spare) disk first in slot one. Then upgrade the firmware as desired. You also might want to make sure all the bays are functioning - you can do that by moving the scratch disk to each bay (NAS powered down), and making sure the NAS boots.
