   Howdy! Mark,   
      
   That is what I do.   
   When the Light on the Power Button, the Num Lock LED on the Keyboard   
   and I see the Firewire 400 connected WD External HDD LED on the front   
   panel all are out, I turn off the UPS.   
      
   AFAIK the only lamp lit on the XP box is the LED on the back panel that   
   the CAT-5 LAN cable is plugged in to.   
      
   I just had another thought ... I also have a USB2 connected External   
   HDD connected to the XP box but it isn't turned on unless I want to use   
   it.   
   The USB cable that I use on it has a LED that shines when the computer   
   is turned on even if the HDD isn't turned on.   
   I will watch to see if that cable isn't lit up.   
      
   Also there is a SCSI SyQuest ExFlyer 230 connected to the XP system.   
   It is powered by a wall wart so the two LEDs on the front panel stay   
   on.   
   I press the power button on it to turn it Off After I've turned the UPS   
   Off.   
      
   Also after the XP Keyboard Num Lock LED and WD HDD LED goes Off I press   
   the Power Button on the monitor to turn it Off before turning Off the   
   UPS.   
      
   I will check that USB LED on that cable to the other Ext HDD now and   
   get back to You on what I see.   
      
   Thanks for the help.
