I'm running MPE/iX 6.0 pp2+ on a 957 (not racked, but what diff?).

Generally we're spoiled with 'safe' line power - automatic failover to a
gigantic generator-driven UPS.  But when a failover happens (usually
evidenced by the ceiling lights barely flickering one time), I usually see a
console message saying "** RECOVERY FROM POWER FAIL **"  or very similar.
According to BobBerliner's 2/19/2002 UPSUTIL paper on Jazz, that message
comes from the UPS Monitor/iX subsystem, but I'm not aware of either the
subsystem OR any UPS that might have ever been present.

<<Rest of original message snipped...>>

The 957 was part of the last product line to have its memory supported
with a battery backup.  I believe the message you're seeing is a result
of the subsystem used with the memory battery backup.
