Turned off after power return
I would like to recall the thread:
and ask about the possibility to do the change in the BIOS of Pro4 and Ultra4, which will cause that the NAS will be off after power return (when we had power loss).
Is that possible?
Now the NAS automatically starts which is very undesirable.

On the mainboard there are some jumpers. Maybe is there any way to change the auto power on/off option changing any jumper?

I don't know what the jumpers do, but there is no known way to change the auto power on/off in the bios.
There is a workaround - get a UPS that supports USB monitoring and connect that to the NAS. The NAS will shut down gracefully when the UPS battery runs down, and won't start up again until you press the power button (assuming you don't have a power on schedule set).
Thank you for your fast answer StephenB.
"there is no known way to change the auto power on/off in the bios." - I think it is the way, but of course there is a need to modify the BIOS.
I have one UPS, but connected to four NAS'es. There is no way to properly manage this.
Always when I plug in the power cord / give voltage, the NAS starts, so even when I power on the voltage in my home and next on my UPS, all four NAS'es start at the same time completely unnecessarily.
I'm looking for the solution, so I have opened the housing and see that on the mainboard there are some jumpers - meybe there is any way?
