RN10400 ReadNAS 'Booting...' [SOLVED]

Model Number: RND-4D

Model Name: RN10400

 

The unit only says 'booting' and doesnt' nothing else with or without drives.

Trying to flash it. I downloaded both 'ReadyNASOS-6.9.3-x86_64.img' and 'ReadyNASOS-6.9.3-arm.img' and tried both one at a time. USB

I assume i'm

supposed to use ARM? since that's all that shows on the download page. I get to the USB boot option but unless I failed to read the steps it doesn't say how to boot from this model.

 

My steps:

-Turn off

-Hold 'backup'

-'Boot from USB' displays on the screen'

 

what next?

 

The USB starts flashing but nothing happens.

 

 

 

 

edit: Used another USB and pressed or held 'backup' and it worked.

    The RN104 is an ARM unit. It can't run the x86 firmware. Similarly the x86 models can't run the ARM firmware.

     

    Some USB keys are incompatible.
