What kind of UPS? Seems most here prefer APC. Perhaps that's a topic for another thread...
I can usually get used APC SmartUPSes on the cheap. When the batteries go bad or are removed, they play dead. They don't turn themselves off, but the next time they lose power they won't turn back on. They become completely unresponsive. No lights. No response to the buttons. Nothing. Because they play dead, people think they are dead and sell them "for parts." 9 times out of 10, the only "part" needed is a new battery. With a little patience I can generally get the AP9605 ethernet SNMP card for the smartupses on eBay for well under ten bucks. Name brand snmp managed ups for the price of dirt. Why would I use anything else? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ herrin () dirtside com bill () herrin us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
