If you use business edition, you DO need a phyiscal connection to each server that you want shutdown. Each server that you want to gracefully shutdown would need to be connected to each UPS via a communication cable where as a network management card achieves graceful shutdown over the network (which is easier to set up and is recommended - its better for a large amount of clients as well).

I think once you install the software and see the interface, you will figure out how to go about it for your scenario. if you want to configure a specific event to shut the server down, such as after the UPS has been on battery for 5 minutes, you can do that on the Configure Events section in the shutdown column. Powerchute network shutdown is available for whatever OS you want.īy default, after installing it, with no additional configuration, the server will shutdown based on the low battery duration mark in the network management card (which is a default of two minutes).
