Thanks for the info, having thought about it I
only
really want the UPS to shutdown the machine in an orderly manner so
I will
probably go for one like that mentioned by Anthony.
I've also had a look at the BIOS on the
machine and
there is a setting State After Power Failure : options are On, Off, Auto.
The
current setting is On, yet my machine didn't restart so I'm a bit confused?
Will
this setting bypass the on/off switch on the front, I don't have to short
that
out or something do I?
Thanks,
Keith

I
always use APC ones. You can get excellent value ones from http://serversource.co.uk/ss/sel.phtm which is mostly new but returned Dell stock. I
had a
1400va unit for about £150 from them. Once you know the features you want
it's
just a case of balancing runtime against
cost.

Thanks Ian, I'll check out the bios on the
machine. Any recommendations for what sort of UPS.
Cheers,
Keith

Cuts
My UPS (serial connection) is set to power down the server when the
battery gets low. I have never had cause to try this next bit when
connected to the UPS as it lasts nearly 3 hours but - the PC BIOS can be
set to power up the PC on connection of the mains. I use this for X10
control of another PC as well. Remote on and off (off after shut down via
remote control of course).

Having just built myself a server to sit in
the garage and run homeseer, been away for a few days to find we've had
a powercut and the machine was off, doh. I assume to shutdown properly
when we get a powercut it's simply a case of a UPS. My question is what
is the safest way to get the machine to restart when the power is
resumed. I assume this would not be a feature of the UPS.
Thanks,
Keith
