Uptime 

Well.... I finally got around to connecting the UPS. I was quite surprised that they only supplied 1 male>female AC lead considering the way the UPS is set up.

It has 2 UPS outlets and 2 Surge outlets. Now they are good enough to supply a 4-gang to connect to any one of these 4 outlets but that would mean all 4 appliances would either be UPS protected or surge protected.

Surely the ideal setup (well it seems logical to me anyway) is to have your two main appliances (i.e. PC and monitor) attached to the UPS outlets and everything else attached to the surge outlets.

So like I say, it suprised me that there was only one lead. Not that it was a major deal as I managed to pick another up from my local shop for £1.

Anyway, it's working*.

*Ade, I'm sorry no flashing neon LEDs for you, just a static green one. I know you're dissapointed!
