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.

(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.
Thanks!
Any modell of APC you can recomend? Or some modell i DONT should buy?
Most should work (as I mentioned above we don't support UPS units that require the use of a serial-to-usb cable). You could make use of the APC runtime calculator to find one that suits your needs and search the community to see if others have posted about that model UPS.
