Installation and Operation Back-UPS 1250, 1300, 1500 3

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.
