This is a converted 4.2.x NAS, and the stock 1GB of RAM is often not enough for OS-6. That's a problem that's been reported by other users. The error on the LCD is a crash, and the most likely cause is an out-of-memory condition.

While the manual doesn't address that topic, it is certainly something that Yoda3647 will find useful.

I made a mistake. It a ReadyNAS Ultra 6, no plus.
