I left the battery in the cage with the UPS. Ian tested the battery and
it's good. I looked up the instructions for that model of UPS and the
reasons it could be beeping were a bad battery, loss of power, or too many
things plugged in. It wasn't the two former things, so probably the latter,
unless it's just completely malfunctioning.

OK i didn't know that. It's possible that the beeping was because too much
power was being routed through the UPS; there were three things plugged
into it

The battery is on the main table (or perhaps with the UPS) and the UPS is
near
the server rack, in case anyone wants to try it again.
i'll keep an eye out for a better one with USB

I found that UPS at a goodwill for $7 and Robb supplied the battery.
At the time it was better than having no UPS at all because it
protected us from brief brownouts. If you can find us a better one,
Omni will pay for it.
