6.6 UPS Control
The UPS (Smart UPS series from APC) are controlled by a software pack-
age called “PowerChute plus” by APC. The software warns the user
against power problems and shuts down the D950 system smoothly and
with all vital data intact, whether an operator is present or not. In order to
guarantee proper operation, the PowerChute parameters (pwrchute.ini file)
should be set according to the following example:
