Have just installed my new APC UPS BE700G-UK (700VA/405w). Pretty much a doddle, the supplied USB cable connects the UPS to the PC, on which their PowerChute software can be installed (from supplied CD) to allow configuration of the operation of the UPS. Easy to configure from the application menus.
With a little trepidation I gave it a try by flicking the mains power switch off.... All good, and got audible notification from UPS and message on PC screen. The intervention of the UPS is also recorded in a log. Looks like good kit- hopefully time will prove this right.
Thanks again for the tip, Mac.
