EDA500 and UPS
Quick question: Will the EDA500 expansion chassis shut down gracefully when the 314 it is connected to receives a battery alarm from a UPS? I know the 314 will shut down . . . but it is unclear from...

EDA500 powers down when the main unit does. As it should.

AFAIK there is no processor in the EDA500. So the shutdown on the RN314 should spindown the EDA500 disks, and the chassis should simply turn off when the power runs out.
Of course the EDA500 also needs to be powered from the same UPS.
Probably worth testing - simply unplug the main power feed to the UPS and see what happens.

The unit is currently resyncing (2 4TB drives, probably over 48 hours to complete).
So I'll try a forced "power outage" when it is finished syncing and report back.
Curiously, the status lights on the unit are all dark (the disk activity lights are working). Only the "Netgear" logo is lite. Maybe when it is finished "resyncing"?
Tx StephanB!
