This article will introduce how to configure WalleCube Smart UPS on the Synology background and set up Remote Power-on (WOL).

Model Adaptation

WalleCube Smart UPS supports Synology NAS with DSM 7.0 and above. Currently, it mainly adapts to models with four bays and below. Selection suggestions are as follows:

• 2 Series (e.g., 218): Recommended to choose DC5521 Kit.
• 4, 7, 9 Series (e.g., 920+, 416Play): Recommended to choose Four-pin Kit.

Background Installation

1. Enter Settings: After installing and connecting the UPS, log in to the Synology background, click Control Panel -> Hardware & Power -> UPS.

2. Configure UPS Type:

   • Other Options: Other custom options generally do not need to be checked.
   • Verify Status: Click the Device Information button to confirm the system has correctly identified the UPS information.

3. About Standby Mode: Synology uses “Standby Mode” as a power failure strategy after DSM 7.0. After power failure, the system will enter standby state instead of completely shutting down. Below is Synology’s official explanation of standby mode for reference:
