This
should do the job nicely supplying three battery backup power outlets, an
additional surge protected power outlet and also surge protection for your
phone / ADSL line, USB connectivity to your PC and insurance it would
seem!
When
you compare the price to some of the 4 way surge protectors out
there it
seems good value!
The PowerChute software can be set to send an
email to
your mobile phone to inform you of a power outage and can then perform
an
Auto Reboot after mains power is resumed or when the battery recharges to a
set
level Assuming your bios supports it as Ian has
said).
In fact, I've just convinced myself I need one and
will
order one now as they only have 5 left at Dabs.

My
UPS (serial connection) is set to power down the server when the battery
gets
low. I have never had cause to try this next bit when connected to the UPS
as
it lasts nearly 3 hours but - the PC BIOS can be set to power up the PC on
connection of the mains. I use this for X10 control of another PC as well.
Remote on and off (off after shut down via remote control of
course).

Having just built myself a server to sit in
the
garage and run homeseer, been away for a few days to find we've had a
powercut and the machine was off, doh. I assume to shutdown properly when
we
get a powercut it's simply a case of a UPS. My question is what is the
safest way to get the machine to restart when the power is resumed. I
assume this would not be a feature of the UPS.
Thanks,
Keith
