Power Recovery

You can set the following power recovery functions:

 Boot up DiskStation automatically after power has been restored if the DiskStation was shut down abnormally

due to a power failure.

 Enable Wake on LAN to allow remote startup.

To enable the power recovery function:

1 Tick Restart automatically after a power failure.

2 Click OK.

To enable Wake on LAN:

1 Tick Enable Wake on LAN (or Enable Wake on LAN [number] for DiskStations with multiple LAN ports).

2 Click OK.

More Information

About Wake on LAN: After Wake on LAN is enabled for your DiskStation, you can turn on Synology DiskStation

over the local area network or the Internet by using a WOL (Wake on LAN) application. Activate the function by

entering DiskStation’s IP address (or DDNS hostname) and MAC address.

Wake on LAN works only after Synology DiskStation is shut down properly by pressing the Power button or

selecting Shutdown from DSM's Main Menu, and its power cord is plugged into a working power outlet.

Note: You can also perform Wake on LAN for supported Synology DiskStation with Synology Assistant. See the

Help of Synology Assistant for more information.

Fan speed mode

You can choose the appropriate fan speed mode according to your need (Cool Mode or Quiet mode), or

according to the size of your hard disks (2.5" hard disk mode or 3.5" hard disk mode), depending on the

DiskStation models you are using.

Cool Mode or 3.5" hard disk mode will provide better cooling effect, while Quiet Mode or 2.5" hard disk mode

can further reduce the noise level.

Manage Beep Control

Click the Beep Control tab to control beep alert when abnormal situations occur.

To manage beep control:

Tick or uncheck the checkboxes and click OK.

Manage UPS

Under the UPS tab, you can enable UPS support to prevent data loss when an unexpected power failure occurs.

To enable local UPS support:

1 Connect a local UPS to the USB port of your DiskStation.

2 Tick the Enable UPS support checkbox.

3 Set the Time before DiskStation enters Safe Mode.

Note: If the local UPS is low on battery, or the network UPS server enters Safe Mode, DiskStation will ignore the

specified time period and enter Safe Mode immediately.

4 You can decide whether to send a shutdown signal to the UPS when the system enters Safe Mode. Most UPS

can restore power supply automatically when the power recovers.

5 Click OK.
