Hey everyone, hopefully this will be my last plea for help before finally finishing my FreeNAS build. My rack finally came in (bought the one recommended by @BigDave in my other thread - thanks again!) and the server is installed in it, though I need an UPS system to power it and keep the investment safe.
Having looked around some of the previous threads on this site requesting help with UPS systems, I came upon the CyberPower OL1500RTXL2U, thought I started second guessing myself when I was reading about NUT compatibility and some UPS systems not playing too nicely with FreeNAS. Then I started looking at the APC SMT1500RM2U but haven't been sold on that unit either.
My FreeNAS system is pretty large (a 4U SC846 SuperMicro Chassis that has a 1280W PSU with a secondary for failover) and will host 24 HDDs. I'm thinking I need a larger UPS system because my current one will supply battery power, but not without a break in service during a power outage, so it's not really serving its purpose and it's supposedly rated to around 900W. I'd like the UPS system to be rack-mountable, have the ability to install additional rack-mountable battery packs, be pure sine wave, and be able to replace the battery packs when they eventually die (if that is possible for a pure sine wave system - I haven't found one yet), and be compatible with NUT and FreeNAS so that in the event of a power outage I can shut the system down gracefully after a given amount of time.
If anyone needs any more information to help identify a proper system just let me know, and as always, thanks for any help you can provide!
