Back-UPS BR900G-RS Installation and Operation2

PowerChute

Personal Edition Software

Overview

PowerChute Personal Edition Software allows you to use your computer to access additional power protection and management

features of the Back-UPS.

Using PowerChute, you can:

• Preserve work in progress during a power outage by putting your computer into Hibernate mode. When the power

returns, the computer will appear exactly as it did before the power outage.

• Configure the Back-UPS management features, such as power-saving outlets, shutdown parameters, audible alarms, and

more.

• Monitor and view the status of the Back-UPS, including the estimated runtime, power consumption, power event history,

and more.

Available features will vary by Back-UPS model and operating system.

If you choose not to install PowerChute, the Back-UPS will still provide backup power and power protection to connected

equipment. However, you will only be able to configure a limited number of features using the display interface.

Compatibility

PowerChute is compatible with Windows operating systems only. For a detailed list of supported operating systems, go to

www.apc.com, select Software & Firmware.

For Mac operating systems, we recommend using the native shutdown application (within System Preferences) which

recognizes your battery backup and allows you to configure shutdown of your system during power outages. To access this

application, connect a USB cable from the Back-UPS

DATA PORT (POWERCHUTE PORT) to a USB port on your computer, and

see the documentation provided with your computer.

Installation

Connect the Back-UPS to a computer using a USB cable. Plug one end into the POWERCHUTE PORT on the rear panel of the

Back-UPS and the other into a USB port on your computer.

Insert the PowerChute CD into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. If your Back-UPS did not come with a

PowerChute CD, download the software from www.apc.com, select Software & Firmware.
