looking for auto/scheduled start up of UPS and computer feature...?

[BillP]

is there a UPS that can detect when there is pwoer again and start itself and also start the computer/server?

The way this needs to work is that the UPS has to be responsible for a graceful unattended shutdown. Once complete the UPS will go into a low voltage sleep mode waiting for utility power to return. Meanwhile, your equipment's PSU is waiting for power to return to IT so it can turn back on. Keep in mind that for this to work, you must setup your BIOS so that the "Last State" or whatever it may be called, is set to ON. You may want to contact your vendor to configure this.

Once input power is restored to the UPS, it will cycle power to itself by going online, back to on battery, then back online, which will in essence, turn the outlets on the UPS back on providing power to your equipment. If you want a more controlled outlet by outlet scenario, you may want to look at a Modular UPS, or integrating a switched rack PDU which will allow for turn on delays and such.
