FYI, this is not an error code. It's a code that Netgear can use to access your NAS remotely.
BTW, if you use telnet the username is root, and the password is infr8ntdebug.
In addition to mdgm's commands, you can also power down the NAS, and remove the disks (labeling them by slot). Then you can connect them to a PC (using either SATA or a USB adapter/dock) and test them there. You can use vendor tools (Seatool's Seatools, or WD's Lifeguard or Digital Dashboard).
