F5-221 TOS6

[Brodieman]

Been waiting about 10 months since beta, I want to blow up my NAS and start from scratch when TOS6 comes out. Is there a timeline for this model?

What's the date code (first 4 digits of the serial number) on your 221?

If it's 2005 or lower, your unit has a hardware limitation that excludes it from TOS 6 builds per this thread.

Looks like 2009

The link says 2020 or newer not 2005 or newer? " 221 series with a manufacturing date in Jun 2020 or earlier"

Sorry, older not newer.

2005 == May 2020
2009 == Sept 2020

I'm not sure that TM have confirmed the serial numbering sequence.

Roger. I emailed support, based on my serial, I will be able to use TOS6 and "The official release date for the updated package is not yet clear, but it may be coming soon".

Thanks for the help!
