[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1618033, member: 284358"] Yea same here. Have a huge workstation grade APC UPS hooked to my Mac Mini, its sort of hilarious as its 4 to 5 times larger then my Mini. But I also got my USB router and two external MyBooks hooked to it also. Then I got a china brand power backup for my monitors. However I think the OP was referring to the management software like Parachute that comes with them that links via a USB or other serial cable. The software will report battery life, condition and you can set it when to shutdown. Now I have not plugged it up to see if the built in power management software will recognize the UPS if it is plugged in to the system or not. I myself never hook them up unless its to a server. I just listen to the beep frequency, more beeps, less power left.. LOL [/QUOTE]
