POWERPANEL™ SOFTWARE USER MANUAL
OVERVIEW
PowerPanel™ version 2.03 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
Me, Windows NT and Windows 2000. The latest version can be downloaded from
www.cyberpowersystems.com/downloads.htm
. It works in conjunction with the UPS to provide full
protection of valuable computer systems, applications and data. In the event of a power failure,
PowerPanel™ automatically saves and closes open files under auto-assigned file names or existing
files names after a software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are automatically shutdown to
conserve battery power. Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under
C:\PCTemp
, where
C
is the name of your main hard drive. Files that have previously been saved will be saved in their
original location.
PowerPanel™ is equipped with a
Scheduled Shutdown
feature which can automatically save and
close open files and then shutdown the computer and UPS at a user specified date and time. Use of
this feature is optional and is not required for the power failure shutdown to occur.
The use of the PowerPanel™ software is optional. The UPS unit will provide full surge suppression
and battery backup without the software. You must use the software if you wish to have the auto-
matic shutdown feature.
