60 Chapter 4 Using Your Server
Working With an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
If your server is connected to a UPS, you can set an interval before the UPS shuts down
the system. You can also revise the script that runs automatically when the UPS shuts
down the system.
To set an interval before UPS shutdown of the system:
m
Use the UPS button in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences to implement a
shutdown interval.
A system administrator can use the command-line tools to modify the script that runs
automatically just before the UPS shuts down the system. This script tests for all
running Mac OS X Server processes and shuts them down cleanly.
To modify the UPS shutdown script:
m
Locate the script at /usr/libexec/upsshutdown and modify it as necessary.
Changing the System Language
To change the system language on an Xserve G5 system, you must connect a monitor
and make the change locally on the server.
To change the system language:
1 Connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the system, using an optional video card
and a USB port or a KVM switch.
2 Log in to the server as the root administrator.
3 Open System Preferences.
4 Open the International pane and drag the language you want to the top of the
Languages list.
5 Close System Preferences and log out of the server.
Shutting Down the System Remotely
Because most Xserve systems do not have a keyboard or monitor connected, you can
shut down the system from a remote computer.
To shut down using the Server Monitor application:
1 Open Server Monitor on a remote admin computer.
2 Select the system you want in the list, or use the Add button to list the server and then
select it.
3 Click Info in Server Monitor.
4 Click the Shut Down button.
