Have RN516 in X-RAID2 RAID6 config, considering upgrading chassis to 626X
I should backup my data (obviously), what other concerns are there besides making sure the firmware matches? Currently on 6.6.1, with six drives.

You would:
- Verify the firmware update was successful (i.e. system comes up fine on 6.6.1 after the reboot required by the firmware update process)
- Power down both systems
- Remove the scratch disk from the RN626X that was used to update the firmware to 6.6.1 on it.
- Move the disks across (you should keep the disk order the same).

That's what I would expect from past experience considering the processor and architecture would be similar.
Thanks, will update, possibly soon.
