Sorry couldn't reply earlier as I was out of action.
I look for a sticker at the back couldn't find any such sticker.

It should be there unless you removed it. It'd say either 4.1.X or 5.3.x.
Use this guide to confirm the model: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
Don't just assume anything based on the labels, they are confusing - many v1 owners think they have a v2.

Thank you very much, you are correct, I actually have a V1. I have a 4.1.

Do you have a backup of the data? If not, then If you have access to a windows PC, you can connect disk 1 of the NAS to the PC (using either the internal SATA connections in the PC or a USB->SATA adapter). R-linux for Windows is free software that can read the data volume of the NAS. http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/ That will hopefully let you offload the data.
Also, you can see if RAIDar discovers the NAS with no disks inserted (it should detect it and give you a "no disks" status). That would let us know that the NAS ethernet card is still working.
