New UPS for Home Server

This morning my new APC Smart-UPS 1500 arrived. I ordered this from Dell for Can$299.99. Dell dubbed this unit the DLA1500 but it is the equivalent of the APC model number SUA1500. The "D" undoubtedly stands for Dell.

I downloaded a copy of the Grid Junction add-in for the home server console. This directs you to Home Server Land. And here is the annoying part: it requires you to create an account before you can download this thing. I find this absurd.

Anyway, after the add-in has been installed, it detects the UPS. I left the defaults in place, although I may change the power settings later.

Given the low load, I should be able to run my EX475 server and the routers for at least 60 minutes.

"Time remaining" is still unavailable
as the battery is still charging

If you need assistance with the Grid Junction installation I suggest you read the seriously funny instructions by Timothy Daleo.

A list with UPS models supported by Grid Junction can be found Home Server Land.

Edit July 31, 2009: You can now download the add-in from Home Server Land directly without logging in.
