hi ya I have a few dead UPS... ( bad battery )
I changed the powersupply to be +24v-DC input instead of 110v-ac I use 2 car batteries...and pulled the 110vac... it stayed up for about 15 hrs..!!!! - with 1 IDE disk...-- just sitting there and running cron every 10 minutes to log how long it ran have fun alvin > Peter S Galbraith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > [snip] > > Unresolved questions: > > > > - What do we get for smart mode?
