I haven't evaluated *calc. But the conventional wisdom is to yank the cord, or turn the breaker off, to your ups. Most UPS' will give you an estimate of how long the battery will last. Best to let this happen for 10 minutes or so. Sometimes the energy left calculation is less than accurate at first. ALWAYS kick QUPSDLYTIM up to huge prior to beginning this test. After the conclusion of this test you then need to subtract the time the system needs to bring itself down. I am not very good at disclaimers so I will not help out with that variable (SAFETY). QUPSDLYTIM=upslength - SAFETY. Also, make sure you don't have crud plugged into your ups. We have a fella in our department who's been in IS since the First Coming. Got bent that his PC dropped during 5 second power outages. Stopped happing after I removed his electric heater from his UPS.

What should this system value QUPSDLYTIM be set at. Ours is set at 1200 seconds. What do I gain or lose by setting it to *calc.
