315851 2005-01-20 16:26:00 The question has to be asked. What is an AS500?
I googled ot and the only things it found were monitors.:confused:

It's a very popular SERVER. Made by IBM for medium to large size business.
About $30,000 worth. Runs proprietry O/S . and custom built software.

The comment was aimed at the possibility that it was a "micro-break" UPS.

The majority of the cheaper types are non-isolated and the battery is actually at mains potential.

It makes one cringe when you see them modified for an external battery.
