Ok so today i plugged 2 servers 2 monitors and 2 switches into the ups and plugged it in and im still alive so thats a good sign :-) Everything seems to be working the way it should, just have to configure the software tomorrow .

Thats what i was thinking

And now the fun begins, lol, The manual says to connect the batteries before plugging it into the socket .Maybe i should just ring them (APC) and ask, i think thats the smart thing to do .

Thats it so, im going to just plug the damn thing in, i'll let you know how i get on during the week (if im still alive) . Thanks all

Sounds like a plan, lol . One of the guys i work with said the UPS should be connected to the dell rack, something about earthing it ? i think thats why they wanted an electrition to have a look at it . Or it could be the maximum power output of the socket ?

Well as it stands now its a fire hazard without the UPS so either way it looks like the comms room is going on fire soon, lol .

well at the moment we have an adaptor with two servers and two monitors and swith coming from the one socket on the wall (crazy i know) so im desperate to get this up and running as soon as possible, i may just chance it, whats the worst that can happen (famous last words), lol .

Hi all, Simple question to ask, recently a new UPS was purchased for the comms room, http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SURT2000XLI I was just about to install it when i was told that an electrician would have to have a look at it ???? It does not have to be hard wired into the mains or anything, so i dont see why i cant just do it . We are not going to have access to an electrician for a few weeks .Im in to mind about just going ahead and plugging the UPS in . If anyone has this UPS can you tell me, did you just plug it in and work away or did an electrician have to do anything to get it going ? Thanks .
