What I need to do is shut everything off for a day, move around some hardware,
rewire a few things, etc. But the beeping
did remind me I wanted to get a higher capacity UPS as right now only two
servers are on it. I know it works because during
thunderstorms we get power bumps as tree limbs shake loose wires somewhere.
They last a few seconds, maybe a minute.
Right now my monitor and the networking hardware are not on the UPS. I plan to
get a 500 - 700 watt unit in the near
future and run its AC supply right from the breaker box.
Yep, RealSoonNow.
