I have a rack-mounted FreeNAS server that has a serial port and USB options to connect a UPS. Do you have any recommendations on UPS that can be rack-mounted and easy to configure in FreeNAS?

Thanks for the feedback is the set up as easy as plugin and select from the drop-down?
That's what I did. I have the network card in mine

I just replied to another thread saying how I like the CyberPower line-up so below is a copy of that. Also most 2200VA UPS that are for 120V usually have a 20A plug but if you keep the load low in relation to what it can support using an adapter like how I mentioned below you'll be fine. I keep my UPS at say 30% or less under full load though they're mostly idling.

I'm a fan of the CyberPower OR1500LCDRT2U / OR2200LCDRT2U (you can get a Nema 5-20 to 5-15 adapter for like $15) as they have both USB & serial connectivity. If you happen to run/convert to VMWare ESXi they provide a premade VM that can gracefully shutdown the hypervisor server (thus your FreeNAS VM) that is web configurable. You can also control outlet groups through serial/USB too.
