Hi manowell1,
Can you try booting the second unit without the disks and see if you will get the same behavior?
Note: Please label the disks with their corresponding bay before removing them.

Just tried it, same results. "NetGear Storage Welcome" for a few seconds, then "Booting..." for about 10-15 seconds, then "Boot Menu". I'm guessing it was doing the "NetGear Storage Welcome" before, too, I just wasn't staring at it as hard.
So I reseated the drive caddies well and tried again, no change.

Hi manowell1,
I think the reset button of that unit is stuck in which is why it is going straight to the boot menu.
If you are the original purchaser of the unit and if it is still within the hardware warranty, it will be best for you to contact the support team so they can process an RMA.
