There is a UPS and it held up for an hour. I rigged another UPS to a generator and managed to hold on for over four hours but ...
Two reboots were required One to switch to the generator system and once to switch back. The generator system is not large enough to run the whole system plus charge the batteries. But in any case, reboots should bring up healthy systems. On two different machines, this does not always happen with Mandrake 9.0.
