The last batch of servers I installed, I used Belkin's UPS's. Came with
software and cables and where inexpensive.
These servers have redundant power supplies, so I connected the three
server's six power supplies to the ups's so that each power supply was being
fed from a different UPS. That way - if and when I have to, I can down a
UPS and swap it out without having to down the server.
