  1. Go to Control Panel > System > Power > EuP Mode Configuration.
  2. Select a mode.

    Mode

    Enable

    When enabled, Wake-on-LAN, power recovery, and power schedule settings are disabled. The NAS keeps power consumption below 1W when powered off.
    Disable

    When disabled, power consumption of the NAS is slightly higher than 1W when powered off. EuP mode is disabled by default.
  3. Click Apply.
