UPS power backup

Hi,

I am looking into UPS Backup Power from APC and i have a few questions.  I have 2 Dell Servers and A network switch etc.  The switch is in a Cabinet with its own PDU.  How do i connect the PDU to the UPS so that the power sockets from the PDU are powered from the UPS.  I live in the UK and the UPS have IEC sockets.

Regards,
Anthony

When you say wire on, where do you get the wire on version from?

Great Thanks!  So technically i could wire my PDU sockets into the UPS with these IEC's?  By the way, my PDU is just a standard rack mout version (like a extention socket with 4 plugs on it.)  I just need to keep my switches and modem alive so tha my Servers (connected to a diferent UPS) can shut down succesfully :)

Yes - providing the combined wattage of everything you are going to plug into the UPS doesn't exceed its capacity :)
