As storms rolled through this morning, the power in the whole building went
down for a couple of seconds. The UPS on the VA Research box did not hold.
More than likely a voltage drop or micro-blackout caused the two previous
reboots.

I immediately pulled the power cord and plugged it back into an APC 900 UPS
that had a serial interface and only had one server on it. I ran the serial
cable while the box was rebooting. I will be picking up a new UPS pronto, so
I can take the server down over the weekend to put it on the new UPS.

Thanks again for all the help guys.

Regards,

Bob
