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>

2 questions:<br>
<br>
1) Is this rack or stand-alone?<br>
2) What's our balance / do we need to raise funds?<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>
