You're still not addressing the only point I tried to make in this thread - that MOV-based surge suppression on an ungrounded line is doomed to fail repeatedly - which spells doom for your UPS system, and a much higher aggregate cost over actually having a professional rewire the plug with a ground in the first place.
Here's how you get back up to speed, quick and dirty.
Get the new building code books. There is a series of "cheat sheet" flip charts they sell to professionals that make the new building codes understandable.
This will refresh you, and get you up to compliance.
