Install PowerChute™ Personal Edition Software

bu484a
bu485a
Use PowerChute Personal Edition software to configure the UPS settings. During a power outage, PowerChute will save any open files on your computer and shut it down. When power is restored, it will restart the computer.
Note: PowerChute is only compatible with a Windows operating system. If you are using Mac OSX, use the native shutdown feature to protect your system. See the documentation provided with your computer.

Installation

Use the cable supplied with the Back-UPS to connect the data port on the Back-UPS to the USB port on your computer. On the computer, go to www.apc.com Search for “PowerChute Personal Edition” then click on “View Details” to download the latest version of PCPE software. Click the download link and select Software product. Select the appropriate operating system. Follow directions to download the software.

Connect the Equipment

Battery backup and surge protected outlets
When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, the Battery Backup with Surge Protection outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other AC problems, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Back­UPS.
Connect equipment such as printers, fax machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF.
