TS3000R Strange behavior after power failure

[drfred]

I have a TeraStation 3000 rackmount 12 TB unit. I have been using it without problems for some time. I have had power outages and it has always done fine - it runs off a Liebert GXT4-1500RT120 - UPS - 1350 Watt

So since the system was running fine, I did something stupid, trying to improve it... I connected a USB cable between the TeraStation and the UPS

We had a power outage. Now the TeraStation is acting funny:

it boots up OK and seems to be running normally, but after a few minutes the display goes red and it displays the E10 UPS Running Off Battery error.  The UPS was running off battery at one time, but it is no longer. I would like to clear out this error message, but when I go to the management page -> UPS Sync it says: cannot confirm the status of synchronization. I can play with the settings, then the unit resets and seems happy for a few minutes before again going red.

I now see that the Liebert UPS connections are for a proprietary communication system for use with some software called Liebert Multilink that runs on a server. I have a file server running Plex which is using the Terastation. If I connect the UPS signalling to the server and install Liebert's Multilink, I can get that signal going, but is there a way to get the power fail signal to the Teralink?

Any ideas?


Thanks!

maybe your ups is not compatible with buffalo

You might also try turning off UPS sync and then re-sync them.
