And, since I believe James runs with two UPS's, he will be in an ideal situation to put one on one power supply and one on the other.

Yes, except that one of them died, and given that we've been burned more times by UPSs failing (and cutting off the power) while the line power was just fine, than we've been saved by UPSs during power outages, it may be some time before we replace it (I've given up trying to convince the boss). And I don't think we have enough capacity on the surviving UPS to put another box on it.

One thing is for damn sure: we get another UPS, we're also going to get at least one more "Sentry Failsafe Transfer Switch" for failover protection. Much cheaper than fitting our WinDoze and Linux boxes with dual-input power supplies.
