UPS APC BATTERY BACKUP POWER OUTAGE VOLTAGE
Menu
Once installed, you can find this feature in the menu system at the following location:
Configuration
There are only 2 configurable options
Initiate Server Shutdown
This controls the battery depletion level at which the UPS will initiate shutting down the server. It defaults to 5% but you must make sure it is set high enough to make sure the battery has enough power left for the server to shut down gracefully
Email Alerts To
If the UPS is activated or needs to send messages e.g to replace the battery this is the user to sent the e-mail to.
Troubleshooting
Periodically you should shut down the monitor and run the command “apctest” to test or calibrate the UPS. You will also need to do this to reset the battery age/date if you change the battery. Please refer to the APC manual for details. Just running the command will also give some options.
