It's the 350VA version, a little old, but what the hell. I didn't have a manual for it, called their technical support, and they shipped me out a manual in 3 days (for what I understand is an almost 5-year old product.) My question to you Best UPS owners is this: My machine is a 486/66 VLB with 32MB RAM 2 WD Hard Drives 450MB and 540MB Orchid 1280 VLB Video Board Sound Blaster 16 NEC CD-ROM Adaptec SCSI controller Archive 150MB Tape Drive and NEC 4FG Monitor I calculted the power drawn by the above. The Computer itself draws worst case 150W. The NEC is rated at 105W. Now I understand W and VA aren't the same and the 150W, I tried to put a 85% efficiency factor in (switching supply.) My problem is this: When I have my monitor turned off for more than an hour, when I turn it on, it resets my system. Just turning the monitor on and off doesn't do this. Any Ideas? --- Gerry Simmons simmons@darykon.wa.com
