Which APc model is suitable for ReadnasRDN2110
Hi All.
I have a ReadyNas Nd 2110.
Want to protect it from mains power loss
Looking for a suitable smart UPS .
Having trouble identifying the correct UPS model. If possible I want the UPS to shutdown the ReadyNas , should the power fail.
Also would like to know what if I need to obtain and special power cable - I cannot remember what the power connection is on the power pack.
i.e. the shape of the power connector into the power pack on the lead which actually connects into the back of the ReadyNas
Thanks for any feed back

- You want an APC model which uses a USB cable to notify the NAS of the power status.
Not sure why you would need a special power cable - normally you just plug the standard power cord of the NAS into the UPS. - Some UPS units would use power cables like the ones used to connect a monitor to power via your PC for connecting your devices (e.g. the Duo) to the UPS. If you get one of those they may give you a few of the cables and get you to swap that with the cable that connects to your Duo power brick at the moment which would then be used to connect the UPS to the power outlet on the wall.
