My 4100 is plugged into an APC 2200XL, but with all the other stuff plugged into it, only gets about 40 minutes before the UPS gives out. I haven't been able to figure out how to get the UPS to send the shutdown to the 4100. Most cases I wouldn't even need to worry, since we have a great big generator hooked up to the server room that should kick in within 20 seconds and keep things running for days, but this time it failed to kick in.

Anyway, I've swapped out the memory with a 256MB Kingston stick that I had in one of the other decommissioned 4100s and have started it up again just a moment ago. My guess is that it will fail in the same spot. I've checked the settings and it's set to automatically repair errors on startup if there are any suspected problems. I don't know if that means it does the Repair Most Errors on the Check or Repair Disk page, or if it tries the Repair All Errors (the one with the warning about data loss).

Assuming I get another failure, I'll try the Repair Most Errors first and then the Repair All Errors if that doesn't work.
