I suspect somebody created a hybrid. RDD516 board in an RN516 chassis. Since they look identical, they likely didn't realize the problems it would create. It may even be that if you create a volume on another OS6 system that you can move to this hybrid and it will mostly work.
I like NETGEAR NAS.
I used ReadyNAS nv+ years ago, and upgraded RN31400.Now I have an RN31600 running.
The boot problem seems to be disk-related, since it does work with your test disk. I suggest trying to boot with your test disk in each of the 6 slots, just to confirm that all bays are functional. I guess the boot problem could also be power related (as 6 disks require more power than one).
Some of the issues could be due to a corrupt eeprom (that is where the model information comes from). You'd need help from Netgear to fix that. Sometimes the mods will do it as a courtesy, other times you need paid support. Perhaps give DaneA, JohnCM_S, Marc_V a chance to chime in.
Thank you for your suggestions.
First I try to exchange the power supply inside the RN316, And update the fireware again. Second I test disk in each of the 6 slots.
