If you get an RMA, what you do is
(a) save the old drives (and trays, screws, etc), labeling slot 1 and 2
(b) check that the new unit is actually a Duo V2 (bad things happen if you accidentally receive a v1)
(c) insert the drives into the new unit while it is powered down
(d) start it up.
After that is done, you can over-install 5.3.5 manually, that will ensure that the flash and the disks have the same OS.
Your configuration and current firmware are all on your old disks, there is no need to configure the new unit before inserting them (anything you enter there would be lost anyway when you insert the old drives).
