UPS
Connecting your ReadyNAS storage system to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device 
is an easy way to protect against data loss due to power failures. 
If you set up email notifications, your ReadyNAS system sends you an email alert message if 
the UPS status changes. For example, if a power failure forces the UPS into battery mode, or 
when the battery is low, you receive an email message. When the battery is low, your 
ReadyNAS system automatically shuts down safely. 
To connect your ReadyNAS system to a UPS:
1. 
Connect the ReadyNAS power cable to the UPS.
2. 
Connect the UPS USB monitoring cable to a USB port on your ReadyNAS system.
Dashboard detects compatible UPS devices automatically and displays information about 
the UPS on the status bar that displays at the bottom of the Configure screens.

Update Firmware
Firmware is the software that operates your ReadyNAS storage system. It is written directly 
to your system’s read-only memory. NETGEAR periodically releases firmware updates to 
improve your storage system. Because firmware is stored in read-only memory, updating the 
firmware requires a special process.
The firmware on your ReadyNAS system is called RAIDiator, and your system uses the 5.3 
version of RAIDiator. Updates are numbered chronologically, for example:
•     
RAIDiator 5.3.1
•     
RAIDiator 5.3.2
You can update the firmware on your ReadyNAS system remotely from the NETGEAR 
website or manually from a local drive. The update process changes only the firmware; it 
does not modify your data.
