4.3.2 EATON INTELLIGENT POWER SOFTWARE SUITE
Each 9E UPS ships with Eaton Intelligent Power Software suite. To begin installing, see the instructions
accompanying the Software suite CD.
Eaton Software suite provides up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow.
It also gives you a complete record of critical power events, and it notifies you of important UPS or power
information.
If there is a power outage and the 9E UPS battery power becomes low, Eaton Software suite can automatically shut down
your computer system to protect your data before the UPS shutdown occurs.
