Server Retired After 18 Years Running on FreeBSD 2...
True, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a UPS that this thing was plugged into

Yes, I thought about that too, but I guess that UPS will not survive 18 years - the battery for sure, the device probably neither. Can you replace one without shutting down the server?

If the UPS is connected to one of a redundant pair of PSUs, yes.

You just need one of these switches that allow you to switch between ups/grid power and you can change the ups without shutting down the server.
