Powerchute can't see UPS

[CHR1S]

Just installed PC on the server, connected by USB.

 

I get events in the event viewer from the UPS but PC does not register the UPS anywhere in its software.

 

Its a Smart UPS 750i

Seems removing the agent and installing it again made it work....

 

wonder why it didnt find it first time round?

Every now and again one of our servers stops talking to the APC UPS its plugged into and I have to pull the usb cable out and plug it back it so they talk to each other again. The Servers that are connected with a good old fashioned serial cable actually cause less problems luckily it doesnt happen very often.

 

It's been a while since I checked for updates but the cds they supply with the software on are usually out of date and you will probably find a newer version you can download from APC's website.

Hi

 

Be careful a lot of ups are not compatable with windows 2008. Check your is compatable. I had to change my ups round to make them all work with the servers putting apc smart ups 1500 on he windows 2008 machines.
