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

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.
