NAS (Iomega) firmware/OS update
I have an old (not that old NAS. IOMEGA StorCenter PX4-300D. It's a 4 bay and I have 4 4-TB drives in it.
I bought it a few years back (actually like 8 years) and never used it. I initially initialized and formatted the drives when I bought it but as I said never used it. It's in perfect working condition. The issue is it's obsolete on their website and I can't find the latest firmware update. My question is do I use it as is or can I wipe out the OS on it and use something like Open Media Vault, FreeNas, etc? If so how do I go about doing that? and how do I get any compatible firm ware updates?
Any help is appreciated.
I'm not sure if I want to use it for home (personal) or business use.

NOTE:
Your px4-300d should be running version 4.0.2.9960 or above before updating to version 4.1.412.34888. If your px4-300d is running version 3.2.3.9273 through 3.2.3.15290, you can update using px4px6-4.0.2.9960.tgz and then update to 4.1.412.34888.
If your px4-300d is running a version lower than 3.2.3.9273, you need to upgrade using px4px6-NOBRAND-3.2.3.15290

Thanks so much.
I actually wnet on their website and asked the same question and they stated since it was an obsolete product there was no information on it.
Perhaps I should of dug deeper.
Thanks and I'll get back to you with my results.

@Kenfcamp.
Thanks. That worked. I was on a 4. something version so I only had to install the latest version.
Much appreciate it!
