I need to reboot when I plug the power cord up tho. I have the UPS |
| 22 |
plugged in and the battery is charged. I even hooked it up to a older |
| 23 |
rig that was given to me and the UPS works fine. I just have not done |
| 24 |
anything as far as hooking it to my main rig yet. I also have not |
| 25 |
hooked up the data part, just the power part. I was running memtest on |
| 26 |
the older rig to test some ram so no need trying to hook up the data |
| 27 |
part on that. ;-) |

Plus, aren't you supposed to only unplug/plug a serial cable when it is |
| 30 |
off? I'm not sure if they are sensitive to that but pretty sure they |
| 31 |
were a long time ago. |
