UPS Shutdown Parameters...
The
UPS Shutdown Parameters...
option on the
Configuration
menu defines how a UPS reacts when utility power fails and also when utility power returns after a power failure.
The menu option is available only with a smart-signalling UPS, not with a simple-signalling UPS such as a Back-UPS.
Note:
The values shown in the sample dialog box are for a Smart-UPS 700 model.
The following table describes the fields.
Field
Description
UPS Low Battery Signal Time
Determines when PowerChute
plus
generates a
Low Battery Condition
event or a
UPS Battery is Discharged
event.
UPS Turn Off Delay
Determines how long a UPS waits, in seconds, from the time PowerChute
plus
tells the UPS to shut down to the time the UPS turns off power to the supported equipment.
Make this delay long enough to allow for the complete shutdown of the operating system.
UPS Wakeup Delays: Time and Capacity
Ensure that the UPS has enough battery capacity to reboot and support connected equipment.
UPS Audible Warning
Determines when the UPS sounds a warning beep.
Automatic Reboot
When this box is checked (enabled), the UPS automatically reboots when power is restored after a shutdown.
Unchecking this box prevents a UPS from turning its supported equipment on and off repeatedly when utility power is unstable, such as during an earthquake or in geographic areas where frequent power outages occur.
