[RESOLVED] UPS

I was considering an APC UPS350AV for my home server. Documentation is sparce from apc.
There is software that will power down a pc from battery mode but while still running on battery if the power were to return will the ups software power the pc back on

Anne--I am not 100% sure what your question is. APC is a reliable company.
This page will show you what they offer in the VA range you mention. (I assume you have calculated your Volt-Amp needs. 350VA seems a little low.)

Note that several model numbers are listed. (UPS350AV is not a model number.)
I am fairly sure they all are able to automatically smooth out interruption of power and not shut things down if the interruption were a matter of a few seconds.
APS UPS units usually come with software to manage an orderly power shutdown if needed after a longer power interruption. But I doubt a UPS will start everything up again after a partial shutdown. I would think not since that would be no different than having started a normal shutdown. That is really a matter how the OS operates not the UPS.
I see that this info is for the USA, even though I accessed it starting with APC's Australian Home page. http://www.apc.com/index.cfm?ISOCountryCode=au
Your electric power is of course different than ours, so I do not know exactly what APC offers for Australia.
Have you been talking to a local dealer? Or maybe this support page will help.
http://apc.com/support/index.cfm It also is for the US, but perhaps can offer world wide assistance.

See if there is a setting in your BIOS/CMOS to restart after a power loss. For example:

("AC Loss Auto Restart" should be [On])

The APC software has the option to either shut down the server and leave it off, or to restart it (BIOS permitting, as the Doc says).

Thanks that is exactly the answer i was loooking for.
