I recently purchased a poweredge server from Dell and I am trying to provide
some battery backup. I have searched high and low but cannot find the Power
Management control panel or the old UPS control panel.

How do I install a UPS and make Windows 2000 server aware of it's existance
so that I can shut down gracefully during a power outage?

Thanks
Jon

Jon,

The only way I have been able to do this is with the
software that came with the UPS. I use APC here at my
ofice, and they come with software that allows me to shut
down at a specific time or shut down after the power goes
out. If you go to the website of the manufacturer of your
UPS, they should be able to help you out. Hope this helps.

Zac

Exactly, I recently bought a triplite and had to call them
to get the drivers, no disk was sold with the UPS unit!
