    Yup, it's rackmount, although that's not the specific model.  The
    exact model is SU2200RTXL2U, it's spec'd out here:
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tripplite.com/shared/product-pages/en/SU2200RTXL2U.pdf">http://www.tripplite.com/shared/product-pages/en/SU2200RTXL2U.pdf</a> . 
    We won't be getting rails with it, which is OK, since Baldi doesn't
    have a rack that can mount it.  The existing UPS just sits on a
    bench in the cage.<br>
    <br>
    Our balance should be sufficient to get this without needing to
    raise any funds, although I'd need someone from the board to step in
    and give exact details.<br>

                Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] VOTE: $420 for a new Baldi UPS<br>
                <br>
                Hello,<br>
                <br>
                We've known for a few months now that the UPS @ Baldi is
                bad.  It eats batteries at a high rate, so we don't
                wanna just buy another battery pack for it.  We also
                know that Baldi has many power events, even before this
                wind storm.  One of these outages was of just the right
                character to deadlock our server up there.  We had to
                physically go on site to reset it.  Yes, it locked up
                the iLO too! Another one of these outages (or surges)
                caused the death of Baldi-R1's power supply.  The site
                was dead until another physical trip replaced the router
                and its power supply.<br>
                <br>
                The perfect fit for this problem is something called an
                On-Line UPS.<br>
                Unlike a normal UPS that kicks in when it senses power
                is down, an On-Line UPS does continuous AC->DC
                conversion of incoming power to charge the battery bank,
                and continuous DC->AC conversion from the battery
                bank to run the load.  Any fast events that might
                confuse a traditional relay-switching UPS, and allow
                dirty power to get to the load, are eliminated with the
                On-Line UPS design, because everything hits the battery
                bank first.  These types of UPSes are slightly more
                expensive than normal UPSes, but I did some digging to
                find the best deal here.<br>
                <br>
                The physical parts in this spending request are for a
                Tripp-Lite 2200VA UPS in new condition, a new set of
                batteries, and a network interface card.  I'm hesitant
                to post links to suppliers since the availability is
                limited.  The cost includes all shipping charges. The
                real price should be about $408.<br>
                <br>
