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.
