connected UPS unit. You can also set a shutdown timer to turn off the
system automatically after it detects the AC power failure. In general, the
UPS can keep supplying the power for the system for about 5 to 10 minutes.
But this depends on the maximum load of the UPS and the number of the
loads connected to it.
The UPS is supported by the following two ways:
1. via a serial port interface (only for models with serial port)
2. via SNMP network management protocol
If the UPS you used is not supported, please contact technical support or visit
our web site for updated news.
