Dear All , I have a readynas rn51600 , but it not work after i changed some bios setting , this morning i set a USB disk to boot Rescue tool to fix my defect Hard Disk , maybe set s...
No BIOS settings changes are needed to boot off USB. It is not recommended to change BIOS settings as you may brick the device.
Yes, the process on an old BIOS to boot off USB is tricky and can take multiple tries to get the timing right, but it does work.
On the latest BIOS booting off USB is easier.
Far better to reach out for help when a system is working than after bricking it.
Worst case with your system in it’s current state you’d need to use soldering skills (advanced repair) to remove the BIOS chip and put a replacement one in (no idea where you’d get that) or replace the motherboard (would have to get that 2nd hand).

I understand that BIOS changes on the OS6 NAS can require other configuration changes in the DMI and elsewhere, and those can be different depending on the old version as well as the new. Because of this, Netgear has not made the updates available publicly, and likely never will.
