MGE UPS: installed
Just got an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) from my father some days ago. It is a MGE ellipse 1200, perfect to protect a small installation like mine against power failure and surge: it features 3 surge protected sockets, among which 2 are backed up. You can also protect your modem line from surge.
It’s perfectly compatible with Linux (only serial is working) and you can customize the automatic shutdown of the computer (remaining battery capacity, shutdown command, … ). Under ubuntu it’s a three steps installation:
– Add the following in /etc/apt/sources.list:
“deb http://opensource.mgeups.com/ubuntu binary/”
– Perform the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mgeups-psp
Please come Mr Power Failure! I’m prepared to face you yark yark yark!
