Description: The Uninterruptible Power Supply service manages an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your computer by a serial port.
 Note |

| If you have a USB UPS, you should not install this service. |
By default the startup type is Manual and the default status is Stopped, unless you install and configure a serial UPS. After you install and configure a serial UPS, the startup type changes to Automatic and the default status changes to Started.
If this service is stopped or disabled, communications with the UPS are lost. If power is lost on the AC line, the UPS is unable to pilot the computer to shut down as the UPS battery discharges towards a critically low state. This could potentially result in loss of data.
