This thread is related to SBS group because I have HP ML350 with SBS
installed :-)

Well, I need smart-UPS for HP ML350 and that UPS must safetly shutdown
server when power will gone. Any advice, HP, APC, ...?

The APC that is labeled SC1500 produces a "square" simulated sine wave that
some servers do not like. The power supply will simply not work with that
power "curve". Can't say specifically about your HP, but I have had ML 350s
that will not work with the SC1500.

The SUV1500 produces a true sine wave, and the same servers are ok with it.
You should notice that it is roughly $100 more than the SC1500.

I use SmartUPS 1500 standalones at minimum. Larger units (XL series) for
environments that need them - network cards are available for nearly all
SmartUPS models. I have never gone wrong with APC and they have saved my ___
many times.

My only addition to this is to STRONGLY suggest that you stretch the budget
to get an "online" UPS. Yes, they are more expensive. But they are a LOT
better at protecting your network from the spikes and surges that often
happen at the time of power failures and restores. And that _do_ slip
through the surge protection features of failover UPSs.

fyi,

Dell to begin selling un-interruptible power supplies
http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/e...=true&id=54459

There's a chance this might help those purchasing Dell servers select an
appropriate UPS from the same source. (so long as dell doesn't follow the
minimalist approach they're often quite good at ;-)).

I've purchased these over the past couple of years, and been quite
satisfied. I used their support once, and it was great.

You would not catch a CyberPower product on any system/network I'm
responsible for. My experience with them has been terrible as well as
terrible support.

Hi,

Smart-UPS APC SC 1500VA 230V - 2U Rackmount/Tower, SC1500I seems OK for my
server. What do you think?

What is the minimum VA for that server?

APC has a UPS selector tool on their website - you enter the different
devices or loads and the run-time you want and it will provide you with
options.

I'm planning to change my server tripp lite UPS for an APC. I was wondering
if there are any issues with the POWERCHUTE software playing nice with the
ISA server.

Miguel

I'm confused. What would ISA have to do with it?
