Hello i purchased a APC Pro 900, my question is how do i connect my PC and Synology. Do i connect the PC to the Master and can i then connect the Synology to the Controlled by Master?

Hi Johan,

Below is an explanation of how the Master outlet and Controlled by Master outlets work:

To conserve electricity, when the device connected to Master Outlet goes into Sleep or
Standby mode, or turns Off, the Controlled by Master device(s) will shut down as well,
saving electricity.
Connect a master device, such as a desktop computer or audio/visual receiver to the
Master outlet. Connect peripheral devices such as a printer, speakers, or a scanner to the
Controlled by Master outlets.

If you do not wish to have the Synology controlled by the shutdown or hibernate of the PC, then you should use one of the normal outlets on the UPS.

Regards,

Tom
