Hi Roland, thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

However my prime concern is that once the NAS has shutdown gracefully, it stays shutdown.

 

The problem I have is that once power is restored the unit will ignore its previous off state and turn on automatically.

 

Perhaps this is something I will need to change in the BIOS screen?

Fortunately you are wrong. I can confirm, that the nas stays off, after being shutdown by my ups even after power is available again. That is the beauty of this solution. Nevertheless, there is the drawback (depending on your needs), that you actively have to switch it on, if necessay. WOL works fine in this case.

Kind regards
