I haven’t got figures on battery length… might edit this when I do. The voltage regulation feature has kicked in a few times (my line is supposed to be a nominal 240 Volts but more often floats around 250 Volts) which I thought was pretty neat. I was concerned when I first plugged it in as the fan whirred quite loudly at full speed for a few minutes – but then it slowed down to a very quiet speed. Where is the name chosen for the UPS in ups.conf.Īs for the UPS itself: it seems pretty good. Test that everything worked by running: Powerware 5115 UPS The cost-effective Powerware 5115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) is designed to protect NT workstations, small servers, hubs, routers, PCs, and other electronic equipment from power disturbances.Disconnect and reconnect the USB connection from the server to the UPS (I had to do this to get everything working).On Ubuntu this was just a matter of apt-get’ing the “nut” package and modifying ups.conf, nf, ers, nf and nut.conf as specified on the previously linked documentation page. For the Eaton 5115 connected via USB, bcmxcp_usb is the correct driver. Install NUT and then configure as per the instructions given here here.The 5115 additionally comes standard with a USB port. For those out there wondering: yes it is. Software Suite with complete cabling, which provides power monitoring and unattended shutdown software.
Only the “Powerware” branded model is listed on the NUT support page but I was banking on the newer model being compatible. This item: Eaton Powerware PW5115 1000 USB 12V 9Ah UPS Battery - This is an AJC Brand Replacement. I bought an Eaton 5115 500 Watt tower model. I’m running more remote services on it and figure that anything I can add to protect it is worth while. A couple of months ago, I bought a UPS for my server at home.
