Manage Power Usage
You can configure settings on your ReadyNAS system to reduce power consumption.
Enable the Power Timer
You can configure your ReadyNAS system to power itself on and off automatically according to
a schedule.
Not all ReadyNAS systems support this feature. If your system does not, the Power On
option does not display in the Action list.
When the power timer is enabled, if the unit is disconnected from AC power it will power on
when AC power is reconnected.
Note: If you schedule this device to power off, data transfers will be
interrupted and pending backup jobs will not run.
