Setup causes UPS to switch to battery mode due to hardware detection.
Cause:
In Installing Windows 95 on a computer with an constant power supply (UPS) attached to a serial port, the UPS switches to battery mode during the hardware detection portion of Setup. If Setup does not finish before the battery in the UPS runs out, the UPS shuts down and the computer restarts.
Solution:
Disconnect the UPS monitoring cable from the serial port before running Windows 95 Setup.
The following UPS models are known to exhibit the behavior described above:
American Power Conversion Smart-UPS Series (all models)
American Power Conversion Matrix Series (all models)
