You can test this just power on the unit and pull the plug during the bios post. If it comes back on when you plug it back in, you have it right. I have NUT set to power down on low battery, so if you need help, let me know. -Derek At 05:39 PM 3/8/2006, Peter wrote: >--- Philip Hallstrom wrote: > > > > On an updated 5.4 box I am using Network UPS Tools (NUT) with an > > APC > > > Smart-UPS. > > > > > > All is going very well but I cannot bring my box back up after > > > simulating a power failure.
