R3000 UPS - using on non Compaq server running W2k

[Laurence Skinner]

I've got an R3000 UPS that I'd like to use on a non-Compaq server (;o). Can I pretend it's an APC UPS or does anyone know what I should enter into the config boxes in the Windows 2000 Custom UPS configuration? (It asks whether Power Fail, Low Battery and UPS Shutdown are 'Negative' or 'Positive'.)

Thanks

Laurence,

"Can I pretend it's an APC" No!! Do not use the built in Microsoft UPS software to manage the R3000 UPS.

Try the UPS software on the HP web site.

I would recomend HP power manager for a single UPS.

The R3000 UPS' came with lansafe software from Deltec (or whoever they now are). I'm fairly sure that this software will run on any computer.
