4.6SmartSlot for APC Silcon 240-320kW UPS
A UPS system alone provides excellent protection from brief power problems. However, during an extended power outage an unattended computer system will eventually shut down due to battery capacity exhaustion. To prevent data corruption when the UPS shuts down, the computer must be informed by the UPS of impending shut down and take appropriate file- saving measures. This important function is called UPS monitoring. The UPS's computer interface port is the means by which your UPS communicates with a computer system.
