Here you are. It is the ReadyNAS Ultra 6 (Not Ultra 6 Plus), the CPU is the Intel Atom D510. 2x2Gb

Hi mdgm,

It's an Ultra 6 not Ultra 6 Plus.

From Frontview:



Model:	ReadyNAS Ultra 6 [X-RAID2]
Serial:	2EE107R60017D
Firmware:	RAIDiator 4.2.27
Memory:	1024 MB [DDR2]

That's one of the things that's confusing. The photos on the early Ultra user guides and the website show a picture of the NV series.

In my seraching I checked Hardware Compalibility for memory and got "Page Not Found".

Saw Stephen's posts about the Pro 6. Saw posts about the Ultra 6 Plus.

I could go on but I'll stop. :)

I'm just a tad bit confused and need some verification. Any clarification is helpful.

Thanks.

I have an Ultra 6 too.
Recently I have added an extra 1 GB PC2-6400.
Just in case OS6 would require more.
So I have 2 GB know, that seems to be enough in my situation.

    Memory rec'd and memory test running on first unit.
    
    For the life of me I could not remove the motherboard. after taking out the 6 screws I was having to apply too much force.
    
    Thankfully, I have small hands and was able to snap the memory in.
    
    I have one more unit to do assuming things go well with unit 1.
    
    Any tips on removing the mobo?
    
    Will report success or failure. Thanks for all the help esp. sotrack's pic.
