Configuring a Buffalo TeraStation 5010/3020/3010/6000/5020/3030/7010 to Sync with a UPS


We highly recommend to connect a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to the Buffalo NAS.
UPS is a backup power device that allows the Buffalo NAS to continue operating for a short time if power failure occurs.
Sudden power failure might cause NAS to have data corruption/data loss, or even hardware damage.
When UPS Sync with NAS shutdown feature is configured on Buffalo NAS, it helps prevent data loss by giving the Buffalo NAS enough time to safely shutdown when power outage occurs.                  

Check supported UPS devices HERE. Make sure your UPS device is capable of USB communication. Make sure you UPS is powered on and connected to the USB port on the back of the TeraStation.
 

  1. Log in to WEBUI Settings for the TeraStation.
  2. Click on the "Management" tab.
  3. Click the widget to the right of "Power Management".
