Two other little (but important) warnings:
- Let the battery (near) fully discharge once a month
- Replace battery pack about every two years, without questions.
This will guarantee your UPS will be ready when you ned it.

| One little warning here. A few years ago I had a 19 inch monitor hitched
to
| the UPS-protected socket, along with the computer. In the course of a
| blackout of only a few minutes that screen consumed so much power that the
| UPS batteries broke down before the power came back on again. Memorable
day,
| as you can imagine.
|
| According to the specifications of the above equipment the batteries
should
| have lasted 15 minutes, but didn't. That's why it might be advisable to
test
| run the whole configuration at least once.

| Jack,
|
| The last blackout found me sans UPS. I had TS2K and the Server open, and
| had to rebuild from backups. After finding most of the holes the
| double-shutdown created, I had given about 2-1/2 hours of blood.
|
| A couple of weeks ago, I bought an APC UPS unit, which will support
~15min.
| of battery backup to the computer, monitor, and DSL modem. Theoretically,
| plenty of time to close out any open positions and shut down in an orderly
| fashion. We'll see.
|
| As far as my ISP, I'm not sure what part of the grid they're on. Certain
| areas are left alone during shutdowns, like hospital zones, large
| laboratories, etc., due to possible life-threatening circumstances. If
the
| ISP is located in a safe zone, one might think it would remain connected.
|
| If for some reason everything went down, it's time to get out the cell
| phone...
