allischalmersman Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I have a Tripplite smart500RT1U rackmount UPS plugged into my UnRAID server via USB and Im getting this message in my log every 5 seconds. Of course this makes my logs unbearably large. Jun 21 22:14:50 Tower upsmon[11569]: Poll UPS [ups@localhost] failed - Driver not connected I have NUT installed and I have it set to Tripplite_usb. Is this not compatible? I got a VERY good deal (free) on 2 of these rackmount UPS's and just had to install batteries. I may just have to go back to the trusty APC box and put it on a shelf. Life was so simple with the APC. It just worked. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment

Frank1940 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 1-- Have you looked for a support thread for NUT to verify support for your unit? 2-- Are you using a USB-2 port? (Occasionally USB-3 ports exhibit odd behavior with UBS-2 devices attached.) 3-- Can it be assumed that you tried the provided APC UPS daemon? If so, what was its issue? Quote Link to comment

Very sorry I didnt get a notification that you replied to me. The APC UPS daemon just won't communicate with it no matter what I try. After reading your suggestion about USB 3.0 I disconnected it from the 3 port and installed it into the last 2.0 port I have. After messing with NUT some more now it seems to be communicating. If not I will report back. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment

All you need is one of those brackets with USB sockets that include the wiring harness to connect to those headers to add a couple of more ports. Quote Link to comment
