ReadyNAS 214 turns itself on - after a power outage.
I have several ReadyNAS devices running the latest firmware version 6.10.10 (214, 104, 312, etc.). I was able to configure all of them so that, after a proper shutdown and subsequent power off, they ...
However, I can't do this with this one ReadyNAS 214. After turning on the power, the ReadyNAS starts up with a delay of several seconds. How can I prevent this?
If a ReadyNAS is powered down when the power is cut, then it shouldn't be starting up when power is restored. FWIW, that should not require any configuration or setting changes.
I have no idea why this particular NAS isn't doing that. I guess Wake-on-LAN is one possibility, so you might see if that is turned on.
One workaround is to get a UPS. Then the ReadyNAS won't see any power loss. When it is powered down, the battery in the UPS will last a very long time, since there is almost no power being used by the NAS.
