    APC SmartUPS Setup

    in General Support

    Posted

    Below is what worked for me. Thanks to everyone getting me this far.

    I am using a Smart-UPS 750 in which the UPS load was not showing but everything else seemed to work (auto shutdown). BE SURE TO SHUT DOWN UNRAID as the UPS will cut power.

     

    1. Download the Smart-UPS Firmware Upgrade Wizard v4.3.1 via https://www.apc.com/us/en/download/document/APC_SUWIZ_431_EN/. Because this is a wizard, it should work for many different models. Double check your model #.

    2. Install the utility on a separate Windows laptop and connect the UPS via USB.

    3. Run the Firmware Upgrade Wizard, following all default prompts.

    4. Select the Firmware that came with the utility. In my case it was UPS 09.8.

    5. Allow the UPS and utility to complete (took roughly 8-10 minutes). I believe you can disconnect the USB after the UPS comes back online but I waited for the utility to confirm the version.

    6. Plug the USB back into Unraid and turn everything back on.

    After that, I followed Aegisnir's instructions located below:

    1. Enable advanced config options on your UPS via the on screen display
    2. Open configuration options and scroll down until you find ModBus

    3. Change ModBus to Enabled.  It is disabled by default on all APC UPS units.

    4. In unRAID UPS Setting menu, set the "UPS Cable" to USB and set "UPS Type" to ModBus.  No additional settings like /dev/tty** are required.  It may take a minute or two for the info to load but it will.

    Actually you don't need two 8x, 4x also fine. Suggest ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi D4  ( I haven't that ) , it have four 16x slot in 16x 4x 4x 4x, so two GPU and two HBA fine.

     

    PS, My current main build was Asus Prime X299- A II, also price reasonable.

    Thanks for this suggestion. It might be a tight fit with a GPU and two HBAs. I  would be curious if there would be significant bottlenecks with TDARR, and two HBAs running mover/parity check at 4x. I believe the HBA I use is 8x and I can easily hit 2GB/s during parity checks with 14 disks.

     

    Are you happy with the Asus x299 platform?
