Shutdown Timer [Optional]
This is the time period from mains power failure until the launch of the UPS shutdown sequence.
Shutdown Duration
This is the time taken from the “Shutdown now” command to when the computer has completed the
shutdown process.
Shutdown Type
If Hibernate (default option) is available with your operating system, is better to use the hibernation
feature (first available with Windows 2000) because there are a number of advantages. If the system is
shut down, all work in progress and system information is automatically saved to the disk. The computer
is also de-energized. When mains power returns, all the applications re-open exactly as they were and the
user is returned to their work environment.
The Hibernate function must first have been activated in the operating system. In the power options on
the Windows control panel, check that hibernate option is activated on the Hibernate tab sheet.
NOTE:
If you select hibernate, but your computer does not have this function, Dell ULNM will still protect the installation
by carrying out the normal (default) shutdown. If restart conditions are the same, then shutdown, refer to BIOS
computer configuration. For Windows Vista, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Shutdown
This option shuts down your applications and the system, but does not de-energize the computer. The
system offers the user the choice to de-energize the computer, in which case, it is the UPS that powers on
most computers, this configuration is necessary if you want the server to restart as soon as mains power
returns.
