Title: Is there anyway to make the DNS321 power up after loss of power?
Post by: dherman on July 23, 2010, 08:04:26 AM

I have had a few power interruptions in the last month. When all my infrastructure recovers, the NAS's are still down. Is there a way to make them come back up automatically?

I don't think so.  The latest version of the DNS-323 has that capability, but only with hardware version C.

With ROM 1.03 is it possible and hardware unit revision C1

From release notes for 1.03
6. Unit can now be configured to automatically recover power after a power loss (revC1 only).

So what you are saying is that even though I have firmware v1.03 but because my hardware version of the DNS-321 is A2 and while I am traveling the power in my house goes out I will not be able to access my FTP server until I return home?  Wow I don't think I would have purchased this if I would have known that.

Well, now you know that. :)

There was a "hack" presented here some time back to modify the hardware for automatic power up, don't remember the title, but it's here someplace. :)

Sure, but what happens when the power outage exceeds the capacity of the UPS batteries?
