4.4 SmartSlot for Silcon DP3120E – DP3160E
A UPS system alone provides excellent protection from brief power problems. How-
ever, during an extended power outage an unattended computer system will eventu-
ally shut down due to battery capacity exhaustion. To prevent data corruption when
the UPS shuts down, the computer must be informed by the UPS of impending shut
down and take appropriate file-saving measures. This important function is called
UPS monitoring. The UPS’s computer interface port is the means by which your UPS
communicates with a computer system.
Some computer operating systems have built-in UPS monitoring. These systems
require various hardware interfaces. Interface kits for all major operating systems
that support UPS monitoring are available from your dealer.

maintenance-free service in combination with your American Power Conversion
