to the documentation supplied with the UPS or the documentation for the application controlling the UPS.

is in standby mode.
When shutting down the server, use one of the following methods.
Press and release the POWER switch.

When rebooting the OS after it starts up, allow an interval of 5 minutes
or longer.

interval, turn off the power, and turn it on again.
