Configuring the Appliance to Use a UPS

If a supported UPS is connected to the server via serial cable, UPS monitoring can be turned on. When UPS monitoring is on, the server will automatically perform a safe shutdown in case the UPS battery level becomes critical in a power outage.

To enable UPS monitoring:

1.If using ApplianceView click Maintenance.

2.Click UPS tab.

3.Select the appropriate UPS model from Supported Models

4.Click Apply.

5.Click the Start button.

After several seconds, UPS monitoring starts. If there is a power outage, and the UPS battery level reaches critical the server will safely shutdown.

Managing Users and Groups on the Appliance

By default, everyone on your network has access to the Appliance immediately after it is installed. The authentication for users can be changed from local (on the appliance) to either Primary Domain Controller or Active Directory Services (on the network). You can make this change in the Security tab under Advanced Settings in ApplianceView.

Note The choice of security mode should be made early. Later changes to the security mode may cause some users to lose access to files stored on the appliance.

If either the Primary Domain Controller or Active Directory Services authenticate users and groups for the Appliance, user and group information must be added, modified and deleted on the Primary Domain Controller or Active Directory Services, respectively, not through ApplianceView.
