ups

Assembling a compact 16U rack and fitting baseline accessories.

OK, as a follow up to my last thread ("locked out of my NAS due to a power outage"), I decide to look into a UPS for my NAS. Well, what a surprise - anything under $100 will last from 1 to 10 min, depending on load! What are people using UPS for with their NAS - just for momentary power...

I have a Mecer ME-650-VU UPS which I use to protect my Synology NAS. I have connected the UPS to the NAS with a USB cable and configured the NAS to shutdown gracefully 1 minute after the AC power has cut off, and then switch off the UPS. I have done a test by switching off the AC power supply...

I have my Synology plugged into a UPS with USB. I have the Synology setup so that it will shutdown my server before it enters into safe mode using the built in network server. This all works. It works if I set a time, it works if I let it wait till low battery. The problem is when the Synology...

Begrudgingly bought yet-another replacement UPS; slowly working my way through the major UPS brands... Anyway, is there a way to send a shutdown command from the Synology UPS Server to a non-Synology client via a task, script or another method? Ideally I would like a graceful shutdown of a...

I need a UPS. Again. It must be 10 years since we had a power-cut but gone through 2 UPSs and a few batteries in that time. Cyberpower unit this time - need a new battery but the old one has swollen so much it has disrupted the case and it isn't going anywhere. Same issue with the UPS before...

I'm looking to replace the APC Smart UPS 750 I have in place with the DS918+ The reasons for replacement are: Now over 6 years old and getting noisy. Relay clicking on and off at regular intervals during the day. The APC Powerchute software in no longer available on the Mac So I'm looking for...

New user. What a great resource. I just set up a DS920+ and when I plug in the UPS it immediately goes into battery mode and starts beeping. When I unplug the usb cable the nas front panel shifts to the red low battery indicator with a steady tone. I turned off the NAS and turned off the ups...

I have my UPS plugged into my syno, and I have a slew of raspberrypi's powered by the same UPS which I would also like to gracefully shutdown when necessary. The syno has the handy network UPS server which is awesome, but it seems I have to authorize each client IP individually ("Permitted...

If anyone is planning on buying an APC UPS in the near future, of the type which requires an RJ45/USB cable to auto-shutdown your Synology NAS, you might want to be aware of the following: 1. BAD NEWS - Apparently, APC no longer supplies these cables 'in the box' (at least in Europe, not sure...

So, I spent several hours with discovering of this: 1. Each DSM contains a feature "Synology UPS server" you can setup it by Control panel/Hardware & Power/UPS/Network UPS Type + Enable UPS Server it can helps you to manage another NASes connected to your LAN as the Synology UPS server 2. Then...

With three smallish APC UPS I decided to re-configure what's connected to each one. The two DSM NAS are to the same UPS so that one monitors and the other shares the status. Up to now I had kept the Safe Mode entry on 'Until low battery' thinking that is would be fairly low but able to withstand...

The battery has gone bad obviously on my APC ES 550G and it signals this by a high frequent noise that really makes me mad. Are there a better/other model that is compatible with Synology NAS that indicates this kinds of things a little bit better? I am in no need for an expert UPS, it if can...

These recent thunderstorms we've had in the UK got me thinking, I really should get a UPS. I know, I know this should have been done a long time ago. Thankfully, I cannot remember the last time we had a power outage, and I've been in the same house for over 35 years. One day that luck is going...

Definitely change "custom" UPS driver for DSM, what was unstable to STABLE solution based on: 1. UPS device Legrand Daker DK+ 3000VA (stackable) .... really perfect deal (price and features, upgrades) 2. Ethernet card for Legrand (Generex) CS141b sk ... purchased today (not cheap, but works...

My Eaton UPS 5PX works with their own software (IPP) that they offer a linux .deb version for. Yes I can use NUT, but there are a few variables like battery voltage, that for some reason are not exposed with NUT. So I've tried to run their IPP in a docker container (there are a few version...

My UPS has begin to act strange during powerloss. My NAS, DS918+, seems to close down during power loss after my specified timeout but when the NAS has stopped, the UPS begins to beep, LOUD and continously. When power goes on again, it continues to beep and NAS doesn't turn on, unless I press...

NAS not linked to the UPS. I don't think I need to check the other options?

I would like to get this shallow rack mount APC for my upcoming home rack but don't know if the 918+ will detect when its on battery power and initiate a safe shutdown. I know there are some settings that need to be made in control panel>hardware & power after its connected. Any advise would be...

DS418play, modem, RT2600ac router on top shelf, APC BACK-UPS 950VA behind NAS and some old WD external disk for backup. And a TV to hide all network stuff :)
