Question on connecting multiple Unraid servers to a single UPS

[Ronald Nutter]

I have two small Unraid servers.  Just connected the first one to a APC Back-UPS RS 700G.

The RJ45 port on the back can be either Serial or Ethernet.

 

I have been going through the online manual from the Unraid interface and dont have a good idea of how to get things running using

an ethernet connection instead of serial.  Should I something else to get a single UPS talking to multiple Unraid servers.

 

Would appreciate pointers on how to get this setup.

 

Thanks

See if the info linked here gets you anywhere. In a nutshell, get one server working with the UPS locally, and connect the other using the apcupsd signalling.

You need a APC cable to connect the RJ-45 to USB, in fact, it use USB not Ethernet and not serial.

Thanks for your help on this.  I now have both of my Unraid servers talking to a single UPS.
