UPS
I
bought mine on local computer fair, paid £90. Was sceptical at the begining
(because of price), but turned to be working fine.
If
you can afford, go for APC. I think that's the only one whose drivers are
already on install CDs of Win2000. I am not sure for XP, but should be
there
too.
So
just plug it in and that's it.
Regards,
Nik
Yep, I need a bigger, more intelligent
UPS! The one I'm using can be demoted to the TiVo, so that's no
problem. I know it's been posted a gazillion times before, but can
someone point me in the direction of a cheap UPS
supplier?
Thanks
Pete

Peter, UPS
is usually connected to PC via serial (non-standard) cable. At
least mine
is (APC). It can then pass details about power to PC (about
battery, logs
etc.). There is a software, Powerchute, (which I don't use) which starts
shutting down windows properly after configured period of time,
to prevent crash when battery dries out. I have Win2000, so I don't
know about XP. On my UPS, I have five leds which indicate how much UPS
is
loaded. I have 700VA UPS and connected server, network switch, ADSL
modem, and possibly few more little devices. My UPS has 4 sockets and I
connected power strip on one of them. Still it's showing that it's
loaded
less then 20%. I don't have monitor there. I think that mine can last
more than 15 min on batteries, and because I never had such a long
outage, I never bothered installing PowerChute. My UPS serves me as a
voltage regulator as well, because it shows me that in 70% of the time
it's cutting voltage because it's too high. Strange, because I'm in
London, in a new building and I asumed that power supply should
be stable
and within the specs. Hope this gives you some
idea. Nik -----Original Message----- From:

It is up to date, but that wouldn't make any
difference - the UPS isn't very clever - it's not connected to the PC
in any way (other than power).

RE: [ukha_d] UPS
IME on XP, IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL means a
device driver has blown up. That could either be the UPS driver
having
a fit, or a driver for one of the USB devices getting upset when the
USB devices power off. Best way to find out is to unplug everything
and test powering off.

Could this be a conflict of IRQ's? Not an XP
expert but it sounds like something wrong along those lines. Perhaps
the UPS is trying to fire off an IRQ events to tell the system
that
the powers gone, but it conflicting with something?
Just a
stab in the dark (excuse the pun).
