MY CLOUD USER MANUAL 
Network UPS
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that works off of a battery and keeps devices
that are connected to the UPS port running, for at least a short time, if the main power source goes
out. When a My Cloud device is connected via UPS to the network drive, the drive will
automatically shut down when the UPS is drained to a specified percentage.
Communication with the My Cloud device is done us
ing a master/slave protocol in which the
master device controls the slave devices.
When the UPS is connected to the My Cloud device by USB, the
device automatically becomes a
UPS Network Master. Other My Cloud devices that are connected to that UPS can be pointed to
the IP address of the UPS Master. If the UPS is discharged to the specified percentage, all of the
My Cloud slave drives will automatically shut down properly. See Knowledge Base Answer ID
11852 for a list of UPS devices.
