Uninterruptable Power Supply. A box of batteries that is inline from the mains but before the equipment so should the mains fail the UPS will provide a limited power supply to the equipment.

The batteries are more like motorcycle battery size and are charged via the mains input. All depends how much equipment is plugged in as to how long the unit will stay up without mains.

And how old the batteries are  :-[

40 mins isn't really long enough for the system to shut down.

Parachute failed to kick in, which is a tad concerning. Everything had to fsck, extending the outage. *sigh*.

Actual outage was from around 7:15 to about 8:15, apologies for the inconvenience
