Re: "Best" Unity I UPS

[Chuck Lewis <CLEWIS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

Yep, there is SUPPOSED to be an auto bypass but apparently that failed also. I
had a local electrical contractor install a new circuit today and the AS/400 is
back up. Turns out it went down at 14:20 on Sunday... The PARTS for the UPS came
in today but the SERVICE TECH doesn't come in until FRIDAY... Guess they 
couldn't
fit him in the parts boxes... ;-)

I'll let you know once we find out what happened. I've got a name at Best that I
will be callng tomorrow and I really won't be satisfied with anything less than 
a
COMPLETE replacement at this point...

By the way, for those of you in Indianpolis or the Central Indiana area, Mechel
Mechanical & Electrical are GREAT. I called them yesterday on obviously VERY
short notice, and a VP came by to check out what we needed. I had a quote this
morning a was told that someone would be out a 2:30 to do the work, The guy was
here AT 2:30 and had it done in NO time. They are the BEST !!! Uh, oh... did I
just violate a no ad rule (if so, sorry David !!!!)
