USB port (option)
Connecting the UPS to your computer is accomplished through the USB port on the back 
of your computer. USB compliant hardware and operating system will be necessary 
including installation of a UPS driver. The serial port cannot be used when using the USB 
port. The USB cable is standard and can be bought separately. 
6.1 EPO port (emergency power off)
A customer-supplied switch located remotely can be used to open the EPO connection 
and allows UPS output receptacles to be switched off. Since the EPO shuts down the 
equipment immediately, orderly shutdown procedures are not followed and not by any 
power management software. The UPS will have to be manually restarted in order to 
regain power to the outlets.
