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. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
