Help on UPS Sizing...
I would like some help with understanding if my existing UPS will safely support the load I am wanting to put on it. I curently have an APC Back-UPS ES 750: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/tec ....

If it were me, I would get everything set up and running, and then look at the icon in RAIDar and see how many minutes you have. Then you can decide whether to add a second unit, or replace the ES750 with a larger unit.
Thanks for the response. According to Frontview on the NV, it says I have 35 minutes of runtime.
Do you know how the runtimes are computed? Do they take into account other devices connected into the UPS? I would be surprised if there was a way to monitor non-intelligent devices (e.g. switches), based on the load.
But how about the devices that can communicate via the remote UPS monitoring? Do you expect that an accurate run time could/would be computed?
