   The total power consumed is the same but the load on the UPS is not. When
I tried it on my server, it shut down in about a half-hour. The server has a
425W power supply but is lightly loaded (e.g., a single ATA hard drive). I'm
trying to approximate that load to see if the UPS again shuts down.

Thanks,

Rich
