I had a couple APC units with the SNMP cards, used APC Network shutdown on the systems, worked pretty well. only downside was tryin to get java workin on some of the more obscure platforms(AIX 4.3, Solaris 2.5-2.6, Tru64). On debian and redhat it was a snap though. solaris 7 and 8 was pretty easy too. > OT: I wish APC's estimator was anything CLOSE to what actual loads are. > APC tried to claim it was because I was using power bars.

I haven't tried the load estimator. my biggest APC unit was a 2200 with 2 rackmount battery packs, at about 60% load it gave me approx 2 and a half hours of runtime. Keep in mind that the rackmount battery packs count as 2 battery packs, so when configuring the UPS to make it aware of the battery packs double the amount if its a rackmount(4 batteries vs 2 in the floor models). > Do those cyberpower's not have cooling or something?

The 900 AVRs that I have do not have cooling. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
