Readynas 202 and recommended UPS?

I am to buy two Readynas 202 and I want a ups to them. I prefered APC of some reason ;)

Wich is working best for 202?

I have an old ReadyNas Duo before and the APC ups communicate through serial/usb. But what I read about the new 202, it communicate throiugh LAN and SNMP? So the ups to ReadyNas 202 should have a RJ-45 and so on? Right?

Hi bruse,

Check this ReadyNAS UPS community board to search which UPS was tested and will work perfectly with your system. Also, here's a helpful article you can look at in setting up a UPS with an OS 6 system.

Kind regards,

Serial ports on UPS are not supported by any ReadyNAS.

USB (must not be serial to USB) is supported on current ReadyNAS in addition to the other option you mentioned.

  (Sorry, on my old Duo it's more RJ-11 on the APC to USB on the Duo.)
  
  Whatever, my main question is about ReadyNAs 202. So I can connect USB on ups to USB on ReadyNas 202, or SNMP through LAN?
  
  Any ups to recomend? APC?

    Yes.
    
    You may find you can use the same UPS you are using now. Best not to load the UPS by more than 80% (otherwise the battery will drain too quickly shortening its life). You can connect your router/switch and both NAS units to the UPS, hookup the USB to one NAS and share the UPS over your network to the other NAS.
