I need to reboot when I plug the power cord up tho. I have the UPS
plugged in and the battery is charged. I even hooked it up to a older
rig that was given to me and the UPS works fine. I just have not done
anything as far as hooking it to my main rig yet. I also have not
hooked up the data part, just the power part. I was running memtest on
the older rig to test some ram so no need trying to hook up the data
part on that. ;-)
Plus, aren't you supposed to only unplug/plug a serial cable when it is
off? I'm not sure if they are sensitive to that but pretty sure they
were a long time ago.
