RN316 works with CyberPower Value 1000EI

Just a note for anyone searching that I can confirm the ReadyNAS model RN316 six-bay running firmware 6.7.4 works properly with the CyberPower Value 1000EI.

 

Specifically

- the CyberPower Value 1000EI-AU (Australian version, 2x AU plug receptacles, USB, network passthrough)

- this UPS cost about AU$130 at time of writing

- some time was required and a couple of restarts of the NAS to have the RN316 automatically 'see' the UPS, but eventuall it worked

- at this stage the USB cable only works when plugged in to the NAS's front USB2 port, not when plugged into either of the back USB3 ports

 

I tested the NAS was receiving the correct info from the UPS, and that the NAS was correctly responding to the information from the UPS, by using a method described by other users in this forum (can't find the post to properly give them credit, sorry).

1. Plug UPS into wall power outlet

2. Plug NAS into seperate wall power outlet

3. Plug UPS USB into NAS USB so they can communicate

4. Plug a lamp into the UPS power

5. Switch everything on

6. Ensure NAS sees the UPS

7. Set NAS to shutdown at your preferred % of battery (I just want a nice proper shutdown if the building pwer goes out, so I set my RN316 to power down at 90% battery)

8. Check that the NAS is NOT plugged into the UPS power!

9. Switch off wall power to the UPS.

10. What should happen is that the UPS loses mains power and goes to battery power, sends a message by USB to the NAS, and eventually the NAS shuts down gracefully, whilst the lamp stays lit on battery until the batteries run out. 

11. This method doesn't risk a hard shutdown of the NAS (it's plugged into the wall), but checks that the UPS and NAS are talking to each other, and that your NAS settings do what you think they should do.

 

Thanks to the other users who actually came up with this test, you're the heroes we needed...

 

Cheers.
