5.4 EPO port (Emergency Power Off) (Option)
A customer-supplied switch located remotely can be used to open the EPO connection and
allows UPS output receptacles to be switched off. Since the EPO shuts down the equipment
immediately, orderly shutdown procedures are not followed and not by any power management
software. The UPS will have to be manually restarted in order to regain power to the outlets.
