Configure System Alerts
You can configure the ReadyNAS to send email alerts when certain system events occur,
such as disk errors, changes in network connectivity, power supply failures, fan speed
irregularities, and temperature violations.
The ReadyNAS divides system events into two categories, mandatory and optional.
Mandatory events always generate email alerts. You can control which optional system
events generate email alerts.
By entering your email account information, you authorize the ReadyNAS to send email
alerts from that account.
