Sounds like a punchline's coming!

If your UPS doesn't have a self-test, you can just unplug it with
everything turned on (my unit's so-called self-test is exactly that). Make
sure that the battery is working, that the software kicks in, and that it
shuts the computer's operating system down properly. If you haven't
installed the UPS software and you're using the unit only to give you a
last few minutes of work, make sure that you actually get the time
specified for the battery based on the load you have connected (in my case,
the computer, the network, and the video monitor).
