Power-on on turned off Ultra 2

Hi,

I have the Ultra 2 running as my backup NAS and most of the time I keep it shut down. I turn it on and off whenever I need it.

However, every time there is a power outage (which unfortunately is quite often) the damn thing turns on when the power comes back. What the heck??? I don't want it to turn on except when I turn it on. Is there a setting I just haven't found yet that changes this behavior?

  • See my answer in your per thread. The other thing you could do is use a UPS, the power outages should not cause this behaviour with a UPS in place unless the outage is so long the battery runs flat. This should be very unlikely if the readynas is off.
