I am looking to use this with a Synology DiskStation, and I am wondering if this UPS has an automatic shutdown feature that will tell the DiskStation to safely shut down in the event of an extended power outage. null

This doesn't communicate to any devices.
The tone it emits during an outage just makes you aware of the power outage.

Yes, the CyberPower 450VA Battery Back-Up System typically comes with automatic shutdown software that can communicate with devices like your Synology DiskStation to initiate a safe shutdown in the event of an extended power outage.

This feature is crucial for protecting your data and ensuring that your devices shut down properly to prevent data loss or damage. By connecting your DiskStation to the UPS and installing the provided software (usually available for download from the manufacturer's website), you can configure the UPS to send a signal to your DiskStation when the battery backup kicks in due to a power outage. This signal triggers the DiskStation to begin the shutdown process, allowing it to save any open files and shut down gracefully.

Before purchasing the CyberPower 450VA Battery Back-Up System, I recommend confirming with the manufacturer or checking the product specifications to ensure that it comes with the necessary automatic shutdown software compatible with your Synology DiskStation. Additionally, make sure to follow the setup instructions provided by both CyberPower and Synology to properly configure the automatic shutdown feature for your specific setup.
