UPS & Server Suddenly Shut Down When Serial Cable Connetced

We have several Compaq T1500 XR UPS's along with several APC Smart-UPS's. Connecting a serial cable between a server and the APC UPS's is no problem, but whenever I try to connect a serial cable between a server and a Compaq UPS both the UPS and the server are immediatly and ungracefully shut down. Any thoughts?

HP T1500 XR UPS uses HP Power Manager 4.x software to control server shutdown. The software can be downloaded from www.hp.com/products/ups. It sounds like you are using the Windows UPS service for this UPS. To disable this server, browse to Windows Services and make sure this service is stopped/manual/disabled.
