Hi Joe,

I have had other Tripp Lite products and they have worked flawless for 
many years.  I'd like to connect it to the 520 if I can.  Have you tried 
the PTF's available for the UPS port?  You can read a little about it at:

It sounds like the biggest problem people have is that it's a must to 
turn off the i5 after the PTF's are installed.  A PwrDwnSys *Restart 
Yes doesn't work.  It must be a cold powerup.

What model are you using?

Thank you,

Gary Kuznitz
