There are plenty of scenarios where only one UPS will go out and you want to keep running on the other. These include: * UPS internal failure * Human error (unplug/turn off wrong thing) * Premises electrical fault (bad circuit breaker, wire cut, etc.) * UPS overload due to single source equipment * Single phase failure in utility supply (leaving other phases working) I've had all of the above happen to me. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
