Ready to convert ReadyNas Pro Business Edition from OS4 to OS6

[herbg]

I'm ready to wipe my NAS and install OS6 as this device is primarily used now as a backup device.   I've read the Wiki thread at:
http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86 which I assume is current.

Please direct me to more current information if that is not the case.

My question pertains to selecting which upgrade file on https://www.readynas.com/contributed/mdgm/r4tor6/

Is it ok to start with the latest OS6 file, in this case 6.9.3.bin?  Or, do I select an older version first and do upgrades once the NAS is running? 

Looking forward to any tips before I make the switch!

Cheers,
Herb...

That was fixed a long time ago now.

All the upgrade files use the 6.9.3 bin. I just keep the older URLs around in case there are old links that users come across.

It's fine to go straight to the latest OS6 firmware as the process involves a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) anyway.

Just make sure that if the Pro is used for primary storage for data that you backup that data first.

MDGM:

This worked perfectly!  No problems in switching to 6.9.3!
Can I assume that the fan control & issues are resolved with 6.9.3 and does not need further attention?

Thanks,
Herb...
