I think some of the newer APC UPS's have a network port as well. This is really nice for remotely accessing the UPS when a server goes belly up. -----Original Message----- From: Evan Mann [mailto:emann@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 30 July 2002 10:14 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: UPS I'm using an APC SmartUPS 2200XL with an additional battery to power 4 servers and a tape backup library. I could throw on another server as well as I'm not at maximum capacity yet. It works nicely, connects via serial using a Share-UPS to all my servers, and gives enough time to issue shutdown commands and have the servers safely shutdown. -----Original Message----- From: Starns, Chad M. [mailto:starns@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 2:33 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] OT: UPS Since people are talking about UPSs and power outages, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on a good UPS. We have a group of Proliant servers that need to be protected. In the future I expect we will have some Dells as well. Our power needs right now are about 2750 W according to the APC site. We are looking at the APC Symmetra RM 4kva with one expansion frame (SYRMXR4B4). I noticed that these units communicate with the servers via a network connection. Does that mean when our routers go down do to power outage the servers don't turn off nicely? Does anyone know of a good solution that shuts down windows servers even if everything else is down, including the network? Thanks!
