APC 100-127 V User Manual

The Switched Outlet Groups can be configured to independently turn off, turn on, shut down, put to 
sleep, and reboot connected equipment.

The Switched Outlet Groups can be commanded to do the following:

•  Turn off: Disconnect from power immediately and restart only with a manual command

•  Turn on: Connect to power immediately

•  Shutdown: Disconnect power in sequence, and automatically reapply power in sequence when 

utility power becomes available

•  Reboot: Shut down and restart

•  Sleep: Reboot after a long delay

In addition, the Switched Outlet Groups can be configured to do the following: 

•  Turn on or off in a specified sequence

•  Automatically turn off or shut down when various conditions occur

Note: Whether the Switched Outlet Groups are configured or not, all of the outlets provide 
battery back-up power.

1. Connect critical equipment to a Switched Outlet Group.

2. Connect peripheral equipment to the other Switched Outlet Groups.

– During a power outage, to conserve battery runtime, non-essential equipment can be 

configured to shut down after a short delay

– If equipment has dependent peripherals that must restart or shut down in a specific order, such 

as an ethernet switch that must restart before a connected server, connect the devices to 
separate groups

– Equipment that needs to reboot independently from other equipment should be added to a 

separate group

3. Use the Configuration menus to configure how the Switched Outlet Groups will react in the event 

of a power outage.

Use the Control menus to customize the Switched Outlet Groups.
