Connect to a UPS
Connecting your ReadyNAS storage system to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device
is an easy way to protect against data loss due to power failures.
If you set up email notifications, your ReadyNAS system sends you an email alert message
whenever the UPS status changes. For example, if a power failure forces the UPS into
battery mode, or when the battery is low, you receive an email message. When the battery is
low, your ReadyNAS system automatically shuts down safely.
To connect your ReadyNAS system to a UPS:
1. Connect the ReadyNAS power cable to the UPS.
2. Connect the UPS USB monitoring cable to a USB port on your ReadyNAS system.
FrontView detects compatible UPS units automatically and displays information about the
UPS on the status bar.
