Make sure when you buy your UPS and motherboard that
you set it so that it will turn back on automatically,
without human intervention.  Some UPS will not do that
if their batteries get drained and they shut themselves
down.  And some motherboards will not either.

Another good feature is the ability to tell the UPS that
the system is turned off, so that the UPS can shut down
and save it's batteries.
