Contact Tripp Lite tech support and they can spec your system.

It would help to have as much information as possible. For example, I
had to tell them that my PSU is 350 W and my CRT draws 2.8 A. The
cable modem and NAT router are inconsequential. According to Tripp
Lite my system needs only 300 VA, so I have over twice the capacity.

Put only those things on the UPS that are critical to keeping the
system up. You do not need a printer during a power outage so leave it
off. Every bit of power consumed from the batteries is just that much
time lost for backup.
