Switch  SW2 back to the  OFF position to reset to the default settings.  5. Press ‘0’ to quit this configuration session.  The system would prompt you to save or not.  Press ‘Y’ to save your settings, ‘N’ to ignore.  POWER OPTION IN WIN 2000/XP  This relay card has the ability to provide UPS  signals for Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003. First  connect the RS232 port on the PC to the relay  card as shown:  Then open the power option from control panel  and click on the UPS tab to setup the signals  polarity, select  Positive for Power Fail, Low  Battery and UPS  Shutdown.  Since the  R1~R6 contacts are  programmable,  the output  contacts can be  configured for 3  computers with 2  signals (power fail  and low battery) or  6 computers with  one signal (power  fail or low battery).  Note: All of the computers must have the same  earth ground potential. Connect all of the  computers input power to the same UPS.
