Thank you for test-driving Windows Built-in UPS Support Developed by APC!
"Given APC's record for producing excellent code during the development of the UPS control panel for LAN Manager 2.0 and for Windows 2000, it was a natural choice to offer an APC developed applet for Windows XP users." - Brian Valentine, Sr. Vice President, Windows Division, Microsoft Corporation

Protect your Windows system from unreliable power with an APC UPS

If you do own a UPS

Upgrade to a new APC UPS
UPS batteries generally last 3 to 5 years. If you already have a UPS, check the "battery replacement" light on the front of your UPS (for APC UPSs this is a square with an "X" through it. If this is lit, you may need a new battery.) Check into our Trade-UPS program which allows you to upgrade regardless of manufacturer.

Upgrade your built-in UPS support to PowerChute for more advanced power management capabilities
APC’s PowerChute software enables you to monitor and control any supported APC UPS that has a serial interface port. PowerChute dramatically enhances the reliability of your computer by allowing you to perform UPS self-tests, schedule periodic server shutdowns and restarts, receive pager or email alerts during a power crisis, and to customize your UPS to your power environment.
