Optional Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Your ReadyNAS system supports the use of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies
We recommend that you physically connect the ReadyNAS to one or more uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) devices to protect against data loss due to power failures. Once a
UPS is connected, you can use the ReadyNAS Admin Page to monitor and manage it.
If you enable email alerts, the ReadyNAS sends a message when the status of a UPS
changes. For example, if a power failure forces a UPS into battery mode or if a battery
is low, you receive an email message.
When the UPS internal battery voltage drops to the UPS low voltage setting, and the
UPS sends a signal to the ReadyNAS, the ReadyNAS automatically shuts down gracefully.
UPS Configurations
The ReadyNAS supports UPS devices managed over SNMP, USB, and over a remote
connection.
