I've never heard of a UPS built into a server, every one I've ever seen has been external... the mains power cable(s) for the server are plugged into the UPS. The UPS communications can be over ethernet, or USB, or serial signaling cable, depending on what sort of UPS. for an example, in my lab, each of my two racks has a pair of 7KVA UPS's in the bottom of the rack. these UPS's also have network cards, and are plugged into my management LAN. for my servers to talk to these UPS's, I need to know the IP address that the UPS is configured for. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
