Customizing Your Seagate® NAS Configuring Power Consumption Add an SSL Certificate and Key to the Server Note: Only people familiar with SSL should try adding SSL support to a Seagate NAS. SSL (also known as Transport Layer Security) is a type of encryption used to protect data being sent over a network or the Internet. SSL uses a system of keys, like secret passwords, to send and receive files securely. You add SSL support to your Seagate NAS by entering an SSL certificate and key pair. Resetting the Volume Encryption Key If you have protected a volume with the use of an encryption key, you can reset this key. However, be aware that resetting the encryption key of an encrypted volume makes the data on the old volume inaccessible. Seagate recommends that you back up any important data on the volume before resetting the encryption key. Configuring Power Consumption There are a couple of adjustments that you can make to help you manage and conserve the power your Seagate NAS uses. To make changes to power settings, in the NAS Manager, go to System > Power Settings. Setting up an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a power supply with a battery in it that maintains power to a computer or NAS in the event of a power failure. It's intended to provide enough power to allow you to save whatever files you're working on and properly power off the computer or NAS; it's not meant to keep any system running for the duration of a power failure. Click the Enable checkbox. The NAS will be shut down during a power failure when the UPS battery life reaches 15% of full power or less than 5 minutes. (Optional) To set a time limit to shut down the NAS, enter the time (in seconds) in the Timeout box. For example, 300 seconds is 5 minutes; five minutes after a power failure the NAS will shut down. Setting up Wake on LAN Wake on LAN is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a NAS to be turned on or woken up remotely by a network message. The message is usually sent by a program executed on a computer connected to the same local area network. When you Suspend and Wake on LAN your NAS is turned off, however, the network interface card remains active and listening for a special network message. When the network interface card receives a Wake on Lan (WOL) magic packet message, the NAS will automatically turn on. Seagate Business Storage NAS Administrator Guide 25

Add an SSL Certificate and Key to the Server
Note:
Only people familiar with SSL should try adding SSL support to a Seagate NAS.
SSL (also known as Transport Layer Security) is a type of encryption used to protect data
being sent over a network or the Internet. SSL uses a system of keys, like secret passwords,
to send and receive files securely. You add SSL support to your Seagate NAS by entering an
SSL certificate and key pair.
Resetting the Volume Encryption Key
If you have protected a volume with the use of an encryption key, you can reset this key.
However, be aware that resetting the encryption key of an encrypted volume makes the data
on the old volume inaccessible. Seagate recommends that you back up any important data
on the volume before resetting the encryption key.
Configuring Power Consumption
There are a couple of adjustments that you can make to help you manage and conserve the
power your Seagate NAS uses. To make changes to power settings, in the NAS Manager, go
to
System > Power Settings.
Setting up an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a power supply with a battery in it that maintains
power to a computer or NAS in the event of a power failure. It's intended to provide enough
power to allow you to save whatever files you’re working on and properly power off the
computer or NAS; it’s not meant to keep any system running for the duration of a power
failure.
Click the Enable checkbox. The NAS will be shut down during a power failure when the UPS
battery life reaches 15% of full power or less than 5 minutes.
(Optional) To set a time limit to shut down the NAS, enter the time (in seconds) in the Timeout
box. For example, 300 seconds is 5 minutes; five minutes after a power failure the NAS will
shut down.
Setting up Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN is an Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a NAS to be turned
on or woken up remotely by a network message. The message is usually sent by a program
executed on a computer connected to the same local area network. When you Suspend and
Wake on LAN your NAS is turned off, however, the network interface card remains active and
listening for a special network message. When the network interface card receives a Wake
on Lan (WOL) magic packet message, the NAS will automatically turn on.
