how to connect a system directly to separate AC sources:

Selecting a UPS Unit for ftServer Systems
Stratus does not sell or service UPS units. However, Stratus has qualified UPS models
for use with ftServer 2900, 4900, and 6900 systems.
Use Table 2-1 to determine the number of watts the A-side of your system requires, and
then see http://stratadoc.stratus.com/genref/refsell/qualified_equipment.html to select
an appropriate UPS model.
Site planning information for the UPS in this document is
of a general nature only. Do not rely exclusively on the
UPS information in this document. Contact APC at

documentation, sizing, and ordering information.

Use the following additional tools to enable a UPS and an ftServer system to
communicate over the network:
