It's separate.  I got mine from Sun a couple of years ago for $50, only to 
find out when I tried to install it that the batteries on the prestoserve were 
bad.

The batteries are not field repairable per the FEH, but I was able to locate 
spares (mouser or digikey, can't remember) and replace them.  It was a fairly 
straightforward de-solder/re-solder job.  They are eagle-pitcher batteries, 
BTW.


HINT:  make sure the switch is in the OFF position when it's not installed and 
running.


I'd recommend trying an "archived" copy to make sure your hardware is OK 
before shelling out bucks.
