RNNAS516 BIOS update
I am looking to verify my current BIOS on a ReadyNAS 516 and update if needed. I found the bios_ver.log file and below is some of the information. I am wanting to run VT-x and was curious to find out if I need to update first. Let me know what other steps I need to take.

There are a couple of other threads here that indicate you do need a bios update.
I don't know where to find it though, let me check around.
I submitted a support ticket and they told me that I couldn't update my BIOS. Why are there multiple threads here in the community where 'mdgm' helped with this.

Can someone please get me in contact with mdgm? I would like to see the process and the benefits of updating.

I am still checking. If you get back to support, ask them to escalate.

07/03/2013 ReadyNAS-516 V1.0You're already running the first BIOS version to have VT-x support enabled. The key change since then would be a USB3 F/W update.
