APC RS 700 UPS and Infrant NV
I have an Infrant NV NAS with 4 Seagate ST3200542AS Drives. I purchased it in 2006 and have only replace the fan and updated the drives to larger capacity. I just purchased an APC RS 700 UPS. The N...
Stephen,
Thank you for the input. I recharged the UPS and then set to the NAS to shutdown at 80% as you suggested. I pulled the 120VAC power plug and the NAS gracefully shutdown at 80% of UPS capacity. Just as I wanted it to do. For the benefit of others reading this here is what I did after purchaseing the UPS.
1. Plug the UPS in to 120vAC and charge it for at least 16 hours per APC instructions.
2. Plug the interface cable into the UPS and then connect the cable to the USB connector on the NAS.
3. The NAS recognized the UPS as being connected.
4. Set the NAS to shut down at some predetermined level of the backup battery. I selected “auto” the first time and the test failed. I do not know what “auto” should do.
5. I then set the NAS to shutdown at 80% of battery on the UPS. I pulled the 120VAC power plug.
6. The NAS shutdown gracefully at 80% remaining battery life on the UPS. Exactly as I wanted it to perform.
I did not load any APC software on my computer or onto the UPS. I used what ever is loaded on the APC UPS when I received it. I did not load any software onto the Infrant NV NAS. Both are running native software. Thank you for your assistance.
Continued success,
Larry Nuke
