It sounds like you have the Pro Pioneer (-100NAS part number), not the later -200NAS part number. The -200NAS models have an E5300 2.6 CPU.
You can upgrade the bios using this add-on: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin
Hi Stephen - and thanks for kind reply. And true - it's a -100 Serial no. so must be the Pro Pioneer :smileyindifferent:
As I understand it - it's not easy to upgrade BIOS when the unit is on OS v.6 (I cant just just use "Install firmware button" and upload the file you kindly link to) - and I'm thus keen to know it the BIOS upgrade is a must before changing the hardware :smileyhappy:
