Don't forget that the cable from the DB-9 connector on the back of the APC UPS to the DB-9 Serial Input on the back of your PC is NOT 1-1. For reasons I have never understood the APC UPS requires a proprietary cable that came with the UPS. Even worse, it looks identical to a plain old DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable except for the label on it.

Try here: <http://www.apcc.com/tools/download/> (I just Googled for 'Powerchute download'.) I've got a 1.4kVA APC Smart UPS here - got it with new batteries on eBay for about $300 AUD plus freight and quite delighted. (I don't have Windows software for it as I run Linux on the attached server and use apcupsd.)
