POWERPANEL PLUS™ SOFTWARE USER MANUAL
PowerPanel Plus™ version 1.13 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows
NT and Windows 2000. The latest version can be downloaded from www.cyberpowersystems.com/downloads.htm. It
works in conjunction with the UPS to provide full protection of valuable computer systems, applications and data. In
the event of a power failure, PowerPanel Plus™ automatically saves and closes open files under auto-assigned file
names or existing files names after software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are automatically shutdown to
conserve battery power. Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under C:\PCTemp, where C is the name of
your main hard drive. Files that have previously been saved will be saved in their original location.
PowerPanel Plus™ is equipped with a Schedule feature that can automatically save and close open files and then
shutdown the computer and UPS at a user specified date and time as well as start the computer at a user specified
date and time. Use of this feature is optional and is not required for the power failure shutdown to occur.
