Latest would be 4.2.31.
Likely USB recovery was not needed.
Are you able to access Frontview?
You need to use a browser that will connect with TLS 1.1. You can use Firefox, and set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).

Thanks for the reply.
Progress has been made. I took a single good disc and did a Factory Default on it and ran it through all six slots. 100% pass.
I then reinstalled the 5 original discs, in their original positions, and inserted the newly formatted disc in bay #5, it then detected a bad #6 drive. Evidently, with bay #5 empty and a bad #6, the boot sequence failed.
Unfortunately, 2 bad discs looks to equate to a total loss of everything. Is there anything that I’m missing to be able to retrieve anything off of the 4 good drives? If it makes any difference, the disc sizes are 4T, 1.5T, 1.5T, 1.5T, 0.5T and 0.5T. It was both 500G discs that died. Sure wish I had the money back then to keep all discs the same.
