This part of the thread is about DC input ATX power supplies, and I was 
referring to 12V input ATX power supply and the length of the cable 
between 12V source and 12V input PSU. "Direct" was meant to mean 
dirrectly from battery of the UPS to DC input PSU where UPS is next to 
the motherboard/case.
