The update could be the problem, but more often it's just the reboot it requires that's the cause.
What status does RAIDar report, if any? What status does it report if you remove the drives (marking them so you can return them to their proper location later)?

Now without disks, RAIDar finds the device and its status is Healthy! Previously, I turned off the device many times and RAIDar did not find it!! Very strange. Tomorrow I'll try to turn it on with disks!

I have to ask for help again. I decided to replace the disk and again I can't figure out what to do with the device. When you turn on without disks, the power and Disk1/Disk2/Backup lights flash alternately. The device is not located in RAIDar. I tried to start the OS installation mode again, nothing works!

Does it boot normally with the old disk(s) installed? If it does, does RAIDar see the NAS?
You cannot do a factory default or an OS reinstall w/o disks, as both processes are writing to the disks.

Unfortunately, the old disk has failed, there is no way to check it.
Yes, I just want to install the OS on a new disk. How to do it? https://kb.netgear.com/22892/How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-102-202-212-or-312 according to this instruction, it does not work
