Problem:
When assembling an Intel Core 2 Duo processor with an Abit Fatality FP-IN9 SLI motherboard, I noticed the Fan/Heatsink unit didn't mount flush with the processor, leading to processor overheating. Most motherboards will generally restart when processor reaches a certain temperature, and mine was no exception.

Cause:
- Fan/Heatsink unit's fragile mounting pins not fully inserted into motherboard
- Unlevel Fan/Heatsink bottom surface.

Today I will be using a APC smart UPS 1000 with the AP9617, AP9618, AP9619 family network management card to automatically &
properly shutdown Windows Server 2003 when the battery power reaches a specified level.
The goal is to create a server environment that will properly shutdown in the case of a power outage.
