ReadyNAS 104 / APC Back-UPS BE550G/BE700G sanity check
Hi all,
I'm looking for a sanity check before I order a UPS for my RN104. I'm looking at one of these APC models:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RXED6A
Not the 400 as it seems to not have USB connectivity; the 550 is, I think, enough for the ReadyNAS, but the 700 isn't much more expensive so it's a toss-up at the moment. What I want to be sure of is whether it'll work, and shut down the NAS!
I'm running OS version 6.4.0, and looked at the UPS section of the power settings, but it seemed to only let me add SNMP or Remote UPS. That made me worry that the direct USB connection wouldn't be supported -- is it unsupported, or is it simply not visible until the UPS is connected?
Can anybody reassure me?
Thanks,
Steve
PS I also looked at this cheaper CyberPower model, but since it only has kettle sockets I expect it'll work out more expensive in the long run to buy adapters...

Thanks for the reply Stephen. I'd seen that thread before but it wasn't clear to me whether it applied to the 104 (I don't really have a handle on what other RN models are similar to the 104, so I always end up looking for something model-specific). Is there a page somewhere explaining that? Would perhaps stop me asking some questions...
Since you've referenced it I'll infer that what works on the Pro and Duo will work on the 104, as far as UPS is concerned.
Cheers,
Steve

I'm in the US and use cyberlink myself. My UPS work with pro, duo, RN102, and RN202.So I think APC will work, but I haven't used it myself. I don't work for Netgear, so I don't have any inside info.
