Is it a back UPS pro ? or back ups ? i can't speak for a back UPS, but a
back UPS pro requires a black cable(under *nix) to function in 'smart'
mode. I spent 10-20 hours tweaking my system's settings and trying it on
other mainboards before i contacted APC(their tech support sucks, but once
u get to a place where u can type its ok, it was a bitch to get through
their questions) they sent me a black cable.
whats even stranger, powerchute for win* under vmware worked fine in
linux, but if i tried powerchute for linux on the same com port it didnt.
screwy
but the new cable fixed it
