PowerChute Management Software ? How does the Included "PowerChute Management Software" work on this APC - Back-UPS 600VA -Black

Question

AllanR · Accepted Answer

When plugged into your PC via the USB cable, when the software detects that there is less than a certain percentage of battery remaining, it will shut down your computer for you

ubertech99 · Answer

It "tells" your computer that the power is off (when it goes off) and then after the amount of time you specify, it will command the computer to do a proper shutoff. This is more desirable than a "hard" shutdown where the computer just turns off from losing power.

The main advantage is that it allows your OS to detect a power failure and shutdown so that it does not experience an immediate power loss that could result in data loss or corruption. Also allows you to monitor battery status and power events.

Thank you for your inquiry. Our Power Chute Software allows you to monitor the battery, UPS and configure your connected devices for auto-shutdown.

Merk · Answer

you hook up your pc to the ups via usb and if the power goes out you can set it up so that your pc will hibernate or power off after X minutes, it'll also notify you if the power was cut or the battery had to kick in because of line noise.
