You don't want the NAS to be started up until the UPS has charged up enough to give the NAS time for a second "clean" shutdown if the power fails again. Since the NAS is shut down, it has no way to know when that has occurred.
If this is a concern, like a PC, it could be set to stay off in the event of an outage. In my case, I would prefer it to come back on after a power loss.
Worse case, maybe it could come back on at the next schedule power on, which it does not.
