hey guys i just bought a new APC Back-UPS RS 1500 (BR-1500-IN) which also happens to be my first APC product and i really like the features especially the auto-shutdown software and other software-supported monitoring.
but the issues is that whenever i run SELF-TEST from powerchute personal edition or if i switch off the main AC supply (just like in case of power outage) and the PC runs on battery back-up then there's a strange "buzzing" sound that comes from my PSU/SMPS. had the sound been feeble i wouldn't have cared much but sound is quite loud, if not extremely loud.
so what do you guys think could be the reason n how much chances are there that it could harm my pc in some way or the other n upto what extent?
also the power outage in the area where i live isn't too frequent but still every once in a while it is there.
n the settings that i've changed in the powerchute software is
Sensitivity-High and Runtime on Preserve battery option with computer to be shut-down after 1 minute.
the specs are as shown in sig. with display being connected separately and not on the UPS.
