x600A won't boot

You need to factory default on 4.1.7 to get 4k sector alignment. As your disks are 4k sector disks if you don't factory default on 4.1.7 write performance will likely be poor.
It would be best to have all four drives hooked up when you do the factory default.
If just one is connected, do a factory default, then hot-add (add while NAS is on) the other disks one at a time, wait for the resync etc. to complete before hot-adding the next disk.
The force expansion add-on is obsolete. It was only useful for systems last factory defaulted on RAIDiator 3.x and won't solve expansion issues for those systems when expanding to use 2TB drives.
