ReadyNAS 628 CPU Upgrade
Hi There, I own two ReadyNAS 628x and wondering whether anyone here in the forum has attempted to replace the Xeon 2.2GHz CPU with a higher performance CPU, Xeon 3.5GHz, via reballing since these ...
I don't know about the 628 specifically, but the OS doesn't seem to care about the CPU. Older NAS models with removable CPU's were routinely upgraded. The BIOS is another issue, though. One thing to check is whether or not your replacement CPU was available when the 628 was released. If it wasn't, there is a higher likelihood that the BIOS does not support it.
