ReadyNAS Pro 2 BIOS Update before migration to OS6

Hi,

I have ReadyNAS Pro2 working on RAIDiator 4.2.31 .

I am trying to find the latest BIOS to install it before upgrade of my readynas pro 2 to OS6

Currently my bios date is

09/08/2010

Bios version

080016

I understand it will be better to be on a last possible bios version before upgrade.

I am unable to find information if it is the latest bios version. Can somebody confirm it? Is there new bios for my RN PRO 2?

If it is not , can You tell me where do I find information how to upgrade my bios to the latest version.

Where do I find latest bios and step by step upgrade instruction.

Many thanks in advance

Install http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin as an add-on and reboot the NAS. Since you need a backup any to do the conversion, it's sensible to do this after you back up the NAS (but before you do the OS-6 conversion).

That's the date on mine, and I did run the BIOS update add-on before converting to OS6. I don't think there was actually an update in that package for the Pro2, but it's been a while and I could be misremembering. But you appear to have the latest available.

  I don't have a pro2. But looking at the install script in the add-on, it does appear to include the pro2 and ultra2.
