I am new to Synology products and have just set up my new DS923+(2 bays used).
I now wish to add an UPS to protect from power failures. - I've ordered a APS BX750MI.
When it arrives, I will want to test it to check that the DS shuts down nicely - the whole point of the UPS.
However I don't want to put my system at risk if it does not shut down nicely, so was thinking of doing the following:
Shut Down
Remove the two disks
Replace with one spare disk
Load DSM - set up a simple pool and share
Add UPS and USB lead - adjust UPS settings in control panel (suggestions as to best settings appreciated here)
Disconnect UPS from power and see what happens.
Assuming a good result (ie clean shut down with no problems)
Shut down DS, Replace disk with original two disks and restart.
So the big question is - Can I do this - will the DS recognise the replaced disks, start up and run as if they'd been there all the time?
Or will the firmware "know" that changes have been made and not start up as I'd expect?
Thanks
Ian
