Good grief!  Get the power looked at before you lose everything. 

The circuit breaker is probably tripped. 

The orange light on the server is likely to tell you that the redundant power supply has no power.  Could also be that something is defective but I'm putting my money on power.

The message from the UPS means that the batteries are cooked and will NOT run the server if the power goes out.

First and foremost get some stable power on the server.  The get a new UPS or new batteries.  You can replace the batteriescheaper than a new UPS.

If you dont fix this quickly you can lose all the data on your server.
