Isn't there a way to tell it to shut down when power goes out? If you have
software on a PC or the iSeries I would think you could send some commands

Oddly enough, some UPS's (mostly consumer grade) do not have the ability
to be told to shut themselves off.

I have a handful of APC UPS's (CircuitCity specials) on the servers that
run midrange.com. A few months ago we had a series of brownouts ...
that eventually drained the battery. The UPS monitoring software I use
dutifully told the system to power off ... but, since the power came
back, the system never powered on because the UPS never actually lost power.

'course this _COULD_ be due to a misconfiguration on my UPS software ...
but I haven't had a chance to play with it.
