Controlling the UPS
The Control menu options enable you to take immediate actions affecting your UPS and your outlets, and they
also have some security and network functions.
See the following sections:
• “UPS on Control menu”
• “Outlet Groups on Control menu”

• “Network on Control menu”
UPS on Control menu
Path: Control > UPS
When you choose a radio button option and click Next, another screen summarizes the action to take place;
click Apply there to continue with the action.
The actions vary depending on whether you have a UPS device with Outlet Groups or not. The two tables
below cover these separately.
• “Actions on the UPS screen for devices WITH Outlet Groups”.
• “Actions on the UPS screen for devices WITHOUT Outlet Groups”.
These screen check box options directly below apply to both tables.

Shutdown
Clients
For UPS with Outlet Groups, this is greyed out if no PowerChute clients exist (see
“PowerChute Network Shutdown clients”).
Select this option to notify all servers configured as PowerChute Network Shutdown
clients that are in communication with this UPS to shut down according to the values
configured for PowerChute Network Shutdown Parameters (see “Shutdown on
Configuration menu”).
However, this option will not notify servers when performing any bypass control
actions.
Skip outlet off
delays
This option is available for UPS with Outlet Groups only.
Turn off outlets immediately, skipping the configured Outlet Group delays.
You might want to do this in an emergency or to save runtime. Or the load devices
might already have been turn off manually.
