Where is the UPS option in the ReadyNAS Admin page?
The ReadyNAS OS on a RN516 with firmware "6.4.9 hotfix 1" is not showing a UPS configuration option. Or at least not in System -> Settings, where I expect it to be. I want to connect an UPS to the RN516, but without this option, this will prove difficult.
Any tips on how to get the UPS option to show up, or where to look for it?
My bad. Read somewhere that it should be in System -> Settings, but that is probably old information. It now lives in System -> Power, as rightly marked out by StephenB.
So it's working as expected. Thanks for your help! Will start looking into the configuration options now.
System -> Power -> UPS

It should configure automatically when you connect the USB cable to the NAS.
Hi StephenB,
No, it doesn't. But it does show up in upsc, so RN516 is detecting APC UPS at some level.
# upsc UPS@localhost ... device.mfr: American Power Conversion device.model: Back-UPS RS 1200G ... ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.mfr.date: 2018/09/06 ups.model: Back-UPS RS 1200G ...
Can I use one of the back USB, or shoud I use the front USB?
Will check if power-off and restart triggers the auto detection by the Admin Page.
So the network UPS tools is detecting it. You are saying that you aren't seeing it on the power tab when you expand the UPS section?
