How do I know if I have the UPS power pack?

Look at the third bay from the top... Anything in there? Look at the Amazon pictures #2 and 5... the last one now deleted by amazon. Did you search google? Every review says the USM, and UPS battery is a great feature. I think I figured this is ASUS trying to set their product aside with a graet invention... And then pulling the plug to trim cost. If you don't know what a USM is, or have no idea what the battery thing is... Go back to sleep and enjoy your computer.

Uninterrupted Power Supply. Yes, you should be ok to use this with a UPS. It really comes down to what your plugging into the whole system that will dictate how the UPS acts.

Yes, I have two power strips and my UPS plugged in to mine. There is only on AC outlet on the unit so you would need a power strip or adapter.

Not sure. Have already disposed of boxes and it does not say on the actual device.

There is a power supply that comes with the device. I was worried about the same thing since it wasn't shown. But it did arrive in the packaging.

I believe there is an indicator, but I honestly don't recall what it is, a light maybe. I knew mine had died because we had a long power outage(about a full day), and when the power came back on, the battery backup would not recharge. Still 5 years for a UPS is rather good. You can replace the internal batteries, but it is usually not that much more expensive to just by a new unit.

if there is a power outage or internet connection loss, you will be notified. However, the system will be rendered more or less useless unless you connect it to a UPS.

You need one known good battery to check if power pack is working normally. But, try plugging the power pack into your charger with the battery inserted and the lamp head connected. If your lamp head lights up this means both your power pack and lamp head are good but the battery is bad.

You can either look at numbers on old battery pack or just search based on your laptop model

This depends on the loads you connect and how you connect them. I have my CPU and modem connected to the battery protected outlets on the back of the UPS. I have my monitor and printer connected to the surge only protected outlets. With this arrangement, the UPS battery will power the CPU and modem for about 55 minutes without external AC power. If you load the UPS management software on your computer and connect the USB communication cable, you will have a UPS display on your desktop that will tell you how much battery time you'll get.

No. This is a surge protector, not a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). You would need a UPS unit. TRIPP-LITE offers great options for those also.

It depends upon the load being drawn by what you have plugged into it. The APC Smart UPS brochure shows the run time depending upon the wattage. For example if you are drawing 200 watts of power, then with a fully charged battery it should last about 20-22 minutes according to the brochure.

I use mine in my uninterruptable power supply. The UPS keeps it fully charged for use when needed.

No, you need to install software and connect USB to make communication between PC and UPS.

Unsure. But all you do is: Turn computer off, then turn off UPS. Mark cables for where they plug into UPS, so you can replace them correctly when you are done. Unplug UPS from everything, and UPS from wall. Open compartment door. Remove battery-it can be tough because thick cables are used. Un-plug said cables. Plug cables onto new battery, being SURE Red goes to RED and black to black. Cram battery into compartment. Replace cover. Plug everything back in. Plug into wall, and turn it on. Note that you cannot fully rely upon if for 12-24 hours until the new battery is charged up.

Sorry I don't think I do but I can check and see if I still have the old one. How can I let you know.

there should be a data plate sticker on your unit that tells you what it was charged with
