Using UPS with ReadyNas 102
Hello I need to install a UPS on a ReadyNas 102. The power supply to the office is not that great and whilst the NAS is currently on a surge protected supply there is no UPS in place. Would ...
Many thanks for that really useful reply. I have however now been advised from my supplier that the APC unit I linked to does not come with the powerchute software which I think might be incorrect as in the link it states "Use your PC to access additional power protection and management features for your UPS via a USB Port." Which kind if suggests it can be controlled via the USB port. Its so confusing. I Cannot seem to get sensible answers from either our suppliers or APC.
I have however had it confirmed that this device from Tripp Lite does come with USB support and free software for auto shut down. I know now that its not necessary or even possible to load the software on the NAS but it clearly does have to have a USB connection to the NAS or will it just detect low voltage? I would like to get the same models for the desktops as well and they will need shut down software. Sorry about this but do you think the one below will be suitable? I think its slightly more powerful.
The NAS uses NUT (Network UPS Tools). Most APC UPS units work well with that.
