Update RN516 BIOS to support VT-x
After reading the forums, it appears that I need a BIOS udate for my ReadyNAS 516 to support 64-bit VM's since VT-x is not enabled in my current BIOS as my BIOS date is pre 07/03/2013. Here is my bios_ver.log:

Could I please get an updated BIOS for my unit. Thank you.
Now that you've updated the BIOS VT-x is now enabled on your system so you can run 64-bit VMs on your NAS directly e.g. using VirtualBox if you want.
