Overview
The UPS is a unit to ensure a stable supply of power to the system even in the event
of a power supply failure or a massive blackout.
When the UPC port on the server is connected to the UPS signal cable that has a
UPC interface, if the UPS detects a power failure, it notifies the server of the failure
so that the server can perform emergency shutdown processing. This stops the
server safely.
