Hi guys, im a total dumb ..... when it comes to this stuff.
I need a UPS system to protect my setup from shutting down (Belgium)

The system that needs to be supported is :

Fujitsu Server Primergy TX1310 M3
Ubiquiti 48 port switch
Ubiquiti USG
upto 4 Poe Injectors for my Ubiquiti AC-AP-Lite
and maybe a second very small server which support the camera system.

the only thing is it needs to be cheap :D

i dont care how long it can uptime my devices. i just need a gracefull shutdown.
I dont care brand or wathever it just needs to work

any suggestions ?

thnx so much

For graceful shutdown it has to have ethernet or USB interface so that the server can monitor it. Cheap and UPS are not usually a good combination. A used commercial 1500VA, purchased without batteries, would be my recommendation. An APC Smart-UPS or Smart-UPS Online

What's your budget?
How long run time without power would you like?

CyberPower CP685AVR-G 3-7 mins run time
APC BR1000MS 5 mins run time
APC BR1500MS 10-15 mins run time
APC SMC1500 15-20 mins run time.

Run time is dependent on systems load.

as cheap as possible cant tell the budget exactly
run time doenst matter. if its instant gracefull shutdown i dont mind it :)

its as a all in one server like DHCP, filesystem
the customer itself has like 4 - 5 pc so its a real small setup

looking at this one

Get something with a USB interface that has enough VA's for your system, plug the USB interface into the PC and install the accompanying software. I would recommend an APC UPS, it will onlt gracefully shutdown one device unless it has the powerchute server software and the clients software is installed on other PC's

If you are running those 4-5 other PC's off the UPS you are going to want something with a higher VA rating.
 


One of those units above should be enough to "gracefull shutdown" your servers/computers.
Select one depending on your budget.

If you list the wattage of each device you will connected to the UPS, then I might recommend other units.

server will be --> Active power (max. configuration) 139 W
swithc --> 56 Watt
USG --> 10 watt
poe --> 6,5 watt x4

maybe give a little headroom and add another for the 139w small server
that it :)
