Hi,
I'm running Novell 5.1 with SP4 on a dell PowerEdge 2450. I am trying to load up a APC UPS with the Powerchute software, but when I try to load up the commands I get errors. Below is a copy of what I type in and what I get back. If you could help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Is your COM port definately enabled in your server's BIOS? If it is, what IRQ is it using? -----------------------------------------------------

I went in to the BIOS and changed them from AUTO to COM1 and COM2, just in case they weren't being assigned since I got the same error when they set at AUTO. I think i am trying to set the IRQ to 4 in this command:
SERVER:load aiocomx INT=4 port=03f8 nofifo #com1
where INT=4 is setting it to 4. Am I wrong?
