Note:
- You can specify up to 100 schedules for one DiskStation.
- In the following cases, the system may fail to shut down automatically:
- Storage Manager is performing tasks.
- The system is encrypting share folders.
- The system is performing Secure Erase on hard drives.
- DSM is being upgraded.
- The system is repairing RAID volumes.
- Package Center is performing tasks.
- The system is upgrading databases.
- The system is performing data backup tasks.
Note:
- Power schedules will not be applied if there's any temporary power interruptions to your DiskStation. To ensure continuous power supply for your DiskStation, we highly recommend using SNMP or USB UPS.
- Only DiskStation models with package architecture such as Denverton, Grantley, Broadwell (including Broadwellnk, Broadwellntb, and Broadwellntbap), Bromolow, Apollolake, and Purley will still implement the startup schedule after experiencing temporary interruption of power supply. Please refer to this article to learn more about the package architecture of your DiskStation.
- EDS14 does not support automatic startup/shutdown. For information on how to schedule automatic DC output on/off on EDS14, please refer to this help article.
