UPS Management

The LenovoEMC  UPS Management page allows you to monitor the status of an attached Uninterruptible 
Power Supply.

If your px12-450r is connected to a UPS battery backup unit, it is listed on this page. The battery status of 
the backup unit is also indicated, displaying how much of a charge is left in the battery. To monitor the 
battery status of your UPS unit, connect your px12-450r to it with a USB cable.

If the px12-450r is running from the UPS battery, it automatically shuts down to preserve data as the 
battery charge gets low.
