Hey I need your help.
Recently I bought a Riello NPW 2000 that output a “pseudo-sinusoidal” wave when running on battery the fact is that I read on the web that modern could do like it.
Mostly right as I found that my server (poweredge t430) is not running good with it. When unplugging the power to test the UPS something it make the PC just power off and reboot, or it make the ups in safety mode (continuous beep).
Tried disabling the PFC in IDRAC settings, as far I haven’t noticed power off issues but only safety mode issues with the UPS…
If anyone has an idea… Thank you
Some systems just need a pure sine wave UPS. Especially high grade server hardware. But test the UPS with other computers, it could just be faulty.
I only have a desktop computer but its supply is rated 80+ gold, so it has PFC (if I understand correctly)? Maybe I can disable it in the BIOS? (Going to try)
Already tried running different equipment on the UPS such as modem/router from my ISP or a simple home phone. None of them were having troubles with the UPS…
PFC is in the power supply. The bios doesn’t control it. Only servers may have this control.
Try running some equipment that needs extra load from the UPS. TV? Gaming system? Again could just be an issue with the UPS.
