I waited for 2Hrs and then had the unit power cycled (it's at a remote location). I ran RAIDar again and I'm still getting the same 'upgrading' message. Any suggestions on what to do or what may be going on??

Are you upgrading to 6.6.1 or from 6.6.1?

I'm not entirely sure. When the Firmware 'Upgrade' popped up on the screen when I logged on, I Ok'd it as it was a good time to get done and didn't think to note the version. Currently, RAIDar shows Status: Upgrading and Firmware under that shows as: 6.6.1

F/W 6.7.0 was never available via the auto-update, afaik anyway. So you're probably upgrading to 6.6.1.
Do you what F/W you're coming from though? While it may take some time to update if you were running an old F/W, 2 hours is just too long.
Can you access the GUI now? (partially? does it ask for credentials?)
Is SSH enabled?

Thanks for the Help!
No GUI of any kind coming up and using KiTTY SSH is not connecting on the IP indicated by RAIDar. As for the previous version, I thought I had checked in the near past and it said that there were NO firmware upgrades available. That being the case, I don't know what the previous Firmware version was. :/
