[AusNOG] UPS Recommendations - Small office

Mon Sep 8 17:27:02 EST 2014

3kVA is quite a common sizing for rack-mounted UPSs.

OP: When speccing your UPS, assume ALL PoE ports are fully lit and drawing
max current. Or just use the.power supply max ratings for each device -
you'll find some things get pretty close to rated power at startup...
