I don't have a UPS, but the server has a redundant power supply which is connected to two separate power circuits. so if one goes out, no big deal. in addition, the 9500-12MI controller has a battery- backup unit (BBU) installed to preserve the write cache in case of a power failure. if you're concerned about power failures when using 3ware cards, I recommend turning off the write cache, or using a BBU (costs about $100) if you're using a 95XX-series controller. unfortunately the 7-8xxx series controllers don't have BBU capability. cheers, - Jared -- gentoo-server@gentoo.org mailing list
