Back-UPS BR900G-RS Installation and Operation2
– Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in
electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be reduced if grounds are removed during
installation and maintenance by a skilled person.

Personal Edition Software
Overview
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
www.apc.com, select Software & Firmware.
For Mac operating systems, we recommend using the native shutdown application (within System Preferences) which
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.
Installation
Use the USB cable to connect the USB and Serial port on the UPS to the USB port on your computer. Download PowerChute™
Personal Edition Software from www.apc.com/pcpe. Select the appropriate operating system and follow directions to download
and install the software.
Charge the battery for at least 16
hours before use
