I bought this exact model (at least that is what it says on the box sitting here), and in the package is a mail in offer to get a serial cable for the UPS, which you can actually fill out online (once you have a serial number and some other info). It takes about 3 weeks for them to ship it to you, but once you have that cable it should work with the UPS tools that are available for Linux. I haven't really tested it yet but I am assuming it will work. APC is probably the best brand of UPS for Linux support. Good luck. On Thursday 29 November 2001 10:22 pm, you wrote:
Greetings!
I'm thinking about getting an APC Back-UPS CS 350VA USB to automatically shutdown my small file/DSL/firewall server (AOpen micro-ATX motherboard, Cyrix M2-333Mhz, 128MB, 10GB IDE hard drive, SCSI cdrom drive, and no monitor).
Does anyone have any experience with this particular UPS?
Does the stock SuSE 7.3 kernel support a USB UPS or do I have to hack and patch the kernel to make it work?
Recommend a similar model with serial support for under $100 USD?
Thanks!
