@ 2005/11/06Some of you will be satisfied to stop right here knowing that you are
now protected. For those of you looking for a little more control over
how the UPS reacts during a power outage, grab your RJ to USB cable and
plug the RJ end into the UPS and the USB end into your PC. Running
Windows XP SP2 the APC Back-UPS ES 500 was found and installed
automatically. For once, Plug & Pray actually seemed to work as
Micro$oft intended. As a repair technician by trade, however, I distrust
things that seem too easy, but pulling up Power Options in the OS showed
everything was indeed working correctly and I didn't even need the
driver installation disc.
