PowerPanel version 2.1.4 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The latest version can be downloaded from
www.cyberpower-eu.com/download.html. It works in conjunction with the UPS to provide full
protection of valuable computer systems, applications and data. In the event of a power failure,
PowerPanel automatically saves and closes open files under auto-assigned file names or
existing files names after a software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are automatically
shutdown to conserve battery power. Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under
C:\PCTemp, where C is the name of your main hard drive.
Files that have previously been saved will be saved in their original location.
PowerPanel is equipped with a Scheduled Shutdown feature which can automatically save and
close open files and then shutdown the computer and UPS at a user specified date and time. Use
of this feature is optional and is not required for the power failure shutdown to occur.
The use of the PowerPanel software is optional. The UPS unit will provide full surge suppression
and battery backup without the software. You must use the software if you wish to have the
automatic shutdown feature.
