Hi
I have an APC Back-UPS CS 350 uninterruptable power supply that I'd like to attach to my TrueNAS which is running on a small PC chassis. I am looking for support in two areas. First, I don't see this UPS listed amongst the list of Drivers provided. Does anyone know which driver, if any, are close enough (compatible) to work with this hardware unit?

Also, I currently have an ethernet data socket to USB port cable which talks successfully to my old Netgear ReadyNAS; can I expect to switch it over use it to comminicate with the TrueNAS now instead?

Thank you for your thoughts.

TrueNAS and ReadyNAS both use NUT


Pick one of the models that will use the usbhid-ups driver.

You will need to set up TrueNAS as a UPS Master and the ReadyNAS as UPS Slave, or since you have ReadyNAS UPS working, set up ReadyNAS as Master and TrueNAS as Slave.

Perfect. Thank you for your insight Elvisimprsntr. Seems I have a selection box of drivers to work with there. Much obliged!
