AC Power UPS.

[specialbao1]

Is there any way to run ac power UPS on windows xp.

Windows Xp only supports serial UPS

What do you mean?

You can use a UPS on any computer regardless of the OS.

XP's built-in monitoring tools are limited to serial & USB connections (actually, even win2k does), but there are other apps from different vendors that will let you monitor them differently if you need to (SNMP, etc)

XP also supports UPSes with USB connections, mine has a USB connection to allow XP to monitor the battery charge w/o need for extra software, and set power management to do something like hibernate or shut down when it gets low.
