You may wish to hook up a VGA header cable to the VGA header. By connecting the NAS to a monitor you can monitor the early parts of the boot process when swapping in the replacement CPU.
NetGear does do some testing of CPU models other than the stock one but this is would be for reasons such as if the CPU they use becomes no longer available before NetGear plans to discontinue a product they can ship it with a faster CPU that's compatible. Would possibly be useful for repairing systems with faulty CPUs (probably not many of those) too, I guess.
Swapping the CPU does void the warranty as has already been mentioned. There was a long running thread on replacing the CPU with the first gen Pro.
