EuP Mode Configuration

 

EuP (also Energy-using Products) is a European Union (EU) directive designed to improve the energy efficiency of electrical devices, reduce the use of hazardous substances, increase ease of product recycling, and to improve environment-friendliness of products.

 

When EuP is enabled, the following settings will be affected so that the NAS maintains low power consumption (less than 1W) when the NAS is powered off:

Wake on LAN: Disabled.
AC power resumption: The NAS will remain off after the power restores from an outage.
Scheduled power on, off, restart settings: Disabled.

 

When EuP is disabled, the power consumption of the NAS is slightly higher than 1W when the NAS is powered off. EuP is disabled by default so that you can use the functions Wake on LAN, AC power resumption, and power schedule settings properly.

 

This feature is only supported by certain NAS models.

 

Wake-on-LAN (WOL)

 

Enable this option to allow users to power on the NAS remotely by Wake on LAN. If the power cable is unplugged when the NAS is turned off, Wake on LAN will not function even if the power supply is reconnected afterwards. To wake up the NAS when it is in sleep mode or powered down, press the NAS power button or use the WOL feature in Qfinder Pro or Qmanager. The wake-up function on the NAS is only available after the WOL option is enabled in "Control Panel" > "System Settings" > "General Settings" > "Power" > "Wake-on-LAN (WOL)".

For Qfinder Pro, select a NAS and click "Tools" > "Remote Wake Up (Wake on LAN)".
For Qmanager, click ">" next to the NAS to be selected on the login page, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click "Wake on LAN (WOL)".

 

This feature is only supported by certain NAS models.

 

Power Recovery

 

Configure the NAS to resume to the previous power-on or power-off status, turn on, or remain off when the AC power resumes after a power outage.

 

Note: Only x86-based NAS models can be turned on automatically after power recovery. To set it up, select "Turn on the server automatically" in "Control Panel" > "System Settings" > "Power" > "Power Recovery".

 

Power Schedule

 

Specify the schedule for automatic system power on/off, restart, or sleep mode. Weekdays are Monday to Friday, weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Up to 15 schedules can be set.

 

Enable "Postpone the sleep/restart/shutdown schedule when replication job is in process" to allow scheduled system restart/shutdown to be carried out after a running replication job completes. Otherwise, the NAS will ignore the running replication job and execute scheduled system restart or shutdown.

 

Note:

The system cannot be shut down or restarted in sleep mode.
If there are other QNAP storage expansion enclosures connected to the NAS, the sleep mode will be disabled automatically and system will not go into sleep mode.
