- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10 FIXLIST3.10.001
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- A power break occurs and the UPS (uninterruptable power supply)
- service maintains the system for a short time. The UPS service
- times-out and terminates before power returns or the system can be
- prepared for shutdown. It also pauses the Windows NT Server service.
-
- -or-
-
- A power break occurs and power is restored before the battery runs
- out. However, the UPS service times-out and terminates, leaving the
- system vulnerable to the next power break (also pausing the Server
- service).
-
- In both cases, the following events are logged:
-
- Event ID: 258
- Source: UPS
- Type: Error
- Error: The description for Event ID (258) in Source (UPS) could
- not be found.
-
- Event ID: 3230
- Source: UPS
- Type: Warning
- Error: A power failure was detected at the server.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Your UPS device does not have a low battery signal (or it was
- disabled) and, instead of handling this properly, the UPS service
- terminates prematurely. The problem is in the UPS service.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- In either case, you should contact Microsoft Product Support Services
- for an updated UPS.EXE file. If your UPS and Server services are
- currently paused, restart them by choosing Services from Control
- Panel.
-
