Frontview thinks ReadyNAS NV+ is ReadyNAS Duo

Frontview is identifying it as an NV+, and the text says 4 disks. But it only showing two disk icons on the bottom of the home page. Firmware is already 4.1.16 (latest), so that isn't relevant.
If you have a scratch disk, try
- powering down
- remove disks (labeling by slot)
- do a fresh factory install with only the scratch disk inserted
If that shows all the disk icons, then a factory reset with your operational disks should resolve the issue.

remove disks - you mean remove 3 disks a leave 1 disk in slot 1 ?
do a fresh factory install - factory reset or OS reinstall? Or both (and what first) ?
All disks are OK. I don't care about data. I want to start from beginning with empty disks and default settings.

Actually I meant remove all four and use a scratch disk.
But if you don't care about the data, then do a factory reset with one disk in place. Then try booting the system with that disk in every slot (just to make sure that the SATA bus is working ok).
Then try another factory reset with all disks in place.

After factory reset with one disk (tested in every slot) I ended up with this:Empty Frontview picture

Is this with the single disk or with all four?
