ReadyNAS Pro6 allways boots on power application

I have both a ReadyNAS 626 and a ReadyNAS Pro6 both using the same power source.

 

The 626 does not auto-boot upon application of power after power loss, the Pro 6 does.

 

I have searched the archives and don't see anything which describes how to set the default boot behavior.

 

My preference is that upon power application the ReadyNAS not boot but be in a state for a Wake On Lan packet to being booting.

 

Any pointers of where to look to set this behavior are most appreciated!

    Unfortunately Netgear doesn't provide any options to control power-on behavior after a power cut.  

     

    A UPS is one workaround, since it ensures that the NAS does a clean shutdown before the UPS battery runs out.  The Pro-6 should then stay off when power is restored.
