APC Back-UPS ES 500 Backup Battery and Surge Protector Review

APC Back-UPS ES 500 Backup Battery and Surge ProtectorI purchased this unit after reading the reviews here. The unit works very well and is easy to install. One point mentioned in earlier reviews, however, needs to be revisited and clarified.

The on-battery alarm CANNOT be disabled with the software if you are running it on a Mac. The alam CAN be disabled with software if you are running it on a PC.

This means that if you plan to use this unit on a Mac and you really want to disable the annoying alarm that beeps every 30 seconds when the system goes to battery power you have one choice: Install the unit and software on a PC first and disable the alarm through the PC interface. Then install the unit and software on your Mac with the alarm now disabled. If you don't have a PC available to act as a SWITCH like this, then you are out of luck and you will have no way to turn off the ear-splitting alarm.
