The front of the unit says 1100 as does the sticker on the bottom, which also says 250GB.
When I click the logo at the top of the web interface, the popup opens with specs and says
Model Software Hardware Server # BIOS
1000 series 4.0.860 (US) 2.0.2 20XXXX 4.0.855

Secondly, how is he able to read the specs of the hard drive if he claims he needs an image for the hard drive? If your SnapOS is on the hard drive then you can read the specs , if it is not then you cannot read the specs.
If I were you I would try and pull the image off the hard drive, because if you can read the specs then you still have a some what of a SnapOS on the hard drive. You also might be able to reinstall the SnapOS with the file Adaptec sent you via Assist.

Well, read the specs of the hard drive? No, but I can read them off the label of the hard drive. The snap unit cannot detect the drive at all. I never said I could read the specs of the drive in software. Where did you see that?
As to assist, I did use assist on it, told it to put the image I got from adaptec on it and it chugged for a few minutes before it failed. I only used the 30 MB image, there are two other images, a jvm image and a sync image. I tried those but no success reported by assist.
As I said I also used the web interface's file browser to try an upgrade. It gave the error message I cited. The web interface DOES work, and I was able to put an IP in and all with no problem. But there is no drive. Hardly useful.
