Don't forget to ground that sucker.

I'll add another note for future reference here.

For Fedora 39 Server, apcupsd has another package apcupsd-cgi that can be used with a web server to display UPS status. However, you have to move the files it installs by default because they're not in the /var/www/cgi-bin directory.

sudo dnf install -y apcupsd apcupsd-cgi httpd
sudo mv /var/www/apcupsd /var/www/cgi-bin/
sudo chown apache:apache /var/www/cgi-bin/apcupsd/*
sudo systemctl enable --now httpd

Should get it up and running.
I found 3 useful tools with it.

ozone or new electronics getting warm?

Any hot spots on it?

Don't forget it'll be going like stink right now charging up that battery

Nothing warmer than expected.

The battery is listed as 77% full.

I think you're fine unless it's really horrendous - probably just all the components warming up for the first time. Those things really suck down some current when charging the battery and running the PC.

This, I did this in an enclosed small room and the smell of ozone was overpowering when first bringing up fresh out-of-the-box UPSs (Eatons) not sure if it is normal or not but there were no long term effects. Other then having to leave the door open for a few days.

Damn a few days? ug! I rarely leave my door open...

After the first day it was still barely noticeable by no means strong or overpowering. By the third day it was gone.

My door is the control door to our data closet. I rarely leave it open, even when I'm inside. So I suppose I've trapped the smell in here with me.

I'll leave the door open while I'm here today and we'll see what happens.

and damnit.. now I have to go fishing for the box..

@IRJ the Dolphins also make me cry...

I see what you did there 😉

I do too, now that you pointed it out.

@BRRABill Thanks corrected.

I don't know if I have ever eaten a mango.

I have eaten (or should I say EATON today) mango ice cream and water ice.

And it is more than just drain, it is partially defeating the purpose of the second PSU. It's like having two NICs bonded on your server but only having one switch to plug them into. Sure, it is better than nothing, but it is not delivering the redundancy that you hope for or pay for. If anything goes wrong with that one UPS the redundant PSUs will be useless.
