6. Using the UPS monitoring software
Explanations
Auto restart after shutdown processing by UPS monitoring software
●
In the event of a power failure, some PC models (see *1 below) automatically restart immediately after the
completion of the OS shutdown processing by the UPS monitoring software.
In this case, the UPS stops during restart or after startup, possibly damaging files and/or the hard disk.
This problem can be avoided by disabling POWER MANAGEMENT in the BIOS settings.
*1) PC models: This problem has been reported with MICRON's Millennia Mme.
●
When the PC does not start up automatically, select the "System startup at power restoration" setting
(example: "Restore On AC/Power Loss") in the BIOS settings of your PC, and change to a "System startup
after power restoration" setting (example: "Power On"). Individual BIOS setting methods and/or displays
may differ depending on the PC. For more information, consult your PC instruction manual or contact the
technical support center for your PC.
●
When considering a system with automatic startup at power restoration, choose a PC that satisfies the
condition below. For more information on PC operation when input power is supplied, consult your PC
instruction manual or contact the PC technical support center.
<Condition>
Without having the power switch pressed, the PC starts up when input power is supplied.
●
After shutdown processing, the UPS restarts automatically and supplies power once power
is restored. If you do not want the devices connected to the UPS to start up, turn off their
switches in advance.
●
The automatic restart setting can be disabled in the included UPS monitoring software.
