POWER OPTION IN WIN 2000/XP
This relay card has the ability to provide UPS

the relay card shown as the following.
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.
Because the
R1~R6 contacts
are programmable,
we can configure
the output
contacts for 3
computers with 2
signals (power fail
and low battery) or
6 computers with
one signal (power
fail or low battery).
Note: To ensure all of the protected computers
have the same ground level, it is required to
connect their input power to the same UPS.
