[cobalt-users] Strange Qube 2 Power Problems

["Franklin S. Werren" <fswerren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All;

I have a strange Qube 2 problem and support said it is not the power supply.

I have a very dirty power source here and I got a small Trip Lite backup BC
3348.. About once or twice a day due to the farmer next door, my backup
kicks in for a few secs. depending on the day. When it does about 50% of the
time my server slows down or locks up...
I cannot even re-boot with the buttons, I have to turn the power off in
order to restart it....

It seems to work ok with out the backup but I have a NT base server and
several other computers on the same type of back up and they do not even
blink when it happens.... and the power dip and peaks are usually from 108
vac to 128 vac and will not cause the Qube to burp as long as it is
direct... not into a backup...I use the same model on other equipment and
yes I did switch around stuff....and use different circuits....

The Qube does not like my Triplites....Ideas ???
