10.3.12.1 Overview of SITOP UPS SITOP UPS modules can continue operation of the SIEMENS PC system temporarily if a power failure occurs and/or shut down the system correctly. For example, a SITOP UPS module also protects against data loss when the SIEMENS PC system hardware is shut down, because for technical reasons with Windows-based systems, data is still written to the SSD after shutdown.
