UPS Configuration
If this device is not connection to a UPS device, you may ele4ct to enable a UPS connection to
another NAS device. Select the Enable UPS attached to another NAS check box and enter the IP
Address in the Remote IP field. NETGEAR recommends that you enable this feature if you have
enabled the Disk Spin-Down option.
If you use this option, the ReadyNAS is shut down automatically when a battery-low condition is
detected on a UPS connected to another ReadyNAS. This is useful when a UPS is shared by
multiple ReadyNAS units, even though only one ReadyNAS is monitoring the battery status.
As an option, the ReadyNAS can remotely monitor the UPS when connected to a PC running
Network UPS Tools (NUT). For more information about NUT, see
http://www.networkupstools.org.
Shutdown
The Shutdown Options screen offers the option to either power off or reboot the ReadyNAS
device. You also have the option of performing either a full file system check or a quota check on
the next boot. Both these options can take several minutes to several hours depending on the size
of your volume and the number of files in the volume. You do not need to select these options
unless you suspect there might be data or quota integrity problems.
