Sorry, I forgot about that. Are you running it without a keyboard?
If so, you'll have trouble trying to use the UPS software on the
console serial port.

There have been rumors that there's a motherboard connector for the
B port that just lacks a cable and back-panel connector. The rumors
also say that the motherboard connector is pinned so that PC port
expander cables (with the DB9 connector on a PCI slot bracket) will
work with it. Never tried it myself, though.
