(v1.46c) UNREG / CD5BF9353B3B7091 Organization: BUZ Internet Services X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <44191516796.20000925203657@buz.ch> To: stable@freebsd.org Subject: Freebsd vs. UPS Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I need to get some protection for our servers and I need to know if FreeBSD supports the almighty APC UPS (shutting the servers down in the worst case and rebooting them when power is back, is enough...) with some port. I also wonder if anyone can comment on quality APC delivers and if I need to get their expensive enhancement kits to connect more than one server to an UPS or if I can do some custom hack to get them shutdown when needed (looks like I'll get the 1400VA version, not yet sure if I want to spend the extra money for the 19" version, though, another interesting option would be two 650 or three 500 VA ones ;-). Comments on other brands would be appreciated as well. Best regards, Gabriel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
