IBM UPS Manager software
The UPS comes with the IBM UPS Manager software. The management software provides up-to-date
graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It also gives you a complete record of critical
power events, and notifies you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage and the
UPS battery power becomes low, the software can automatically shut down the system to protect the data
before the UPS shutdown occurs.
Figure 8 shows normal operating using the IBM UPS Manager. The input voltage is 122V, which is within
the acceptable range, and is shown in the left pane. The output voltage of the UPS is 121V and is also
within the acceptable range. The battery is in "floating" mode, which is the second stage of the Eaton
Advanced Battery Management (ABM) three-stage charging technology.
