You don't?!  I find the computer protects the UPS from being damaged by 
surgres, etc.!!

As for the driver, I think the drivers are now part of the kernel, or 
possibly part of the stuff when see "installing previously not 
installed".  Plus that reference is quite a few years old.

Installed the new UPS last Thursday morning; haven't done anything with 
the monitoring and communications with either UPS yet, other than plug 
cables into the back panels.

Did find something when I plugged the new UPS in: old one had the power 
cord than plugs into the back so left in place for the new one.  New one
is hard-wired so removed the original cord.  ...Why is it marked 
"UPS2"?? It's UPS1!  So when I had pulled the plug to test after the 
first time the UPS had shut down  I pulled the wrong plug!  Heard the 
beeps and assumed they were from the correct UPS.
