Use the calendar to set the days and times in which spin-down is active. You can set, and the
ReadyNAS server will remember, calendar settings whether spin-down is enabled or not.
Optional Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Your ReadyNAS system supports the use of optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices. This
section discusses UPS basics, configuration and management.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies
NETGEAR recommends that you physically connect the ReadyNAS to one or more uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) devices to protect against data loss due to power failures . Once a UPS is connected, you
can use the ReadyNAS local admin page to monitor and manage it.
If you enable email alerts, the ReadyNAS sends a message when the status of a UPS changes. For
example, if a power failure forces a UPS into battery mode or if a battery is low, you receive an email
message.
When any UPS battery is low or when a power failure occurs, the ReadyNAS automatically shuts down
gracefully.
