Installing business edition Powerchute on personal home computer

Hi, I have an APC Smart-UPS SUA1000, Windows 7 on my single personal computer. I wanted to download and install the latest version of the PowerChute from the site. I see, when reading the instructions, that it says as the 2nd step to install the Business Edition Server on one of the computers.

There is only this one, I don't have a network. Do I still need to install that? Or can I just do the Step 1: Powerchute Business Edition Agent, and Step 3, the console.

Or do I just install step 1,2, 3 on the single computer I have?

The disk that came with the APC is an older, 2008 version.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, we just had a power outage, and did not have the auto shut off installed. I plugged the monitor into the battery backup, but it wasn't enough to power the monitor so I could shut it down manually. The monitor stayed in sleep mode, there was nothing I could do. ( the sudden shut down ended up frying one of the dual disks!)

( I am not that tech savvy, so patience please)

You can always use the forum if you needed help, but if you want an almost real time troubleshooting the phone support is what I recommend.

Good day Netta,

Eventhough you do not have a network, do you have any idea if there is a network card installed on your PC? Also, by installing just the PowerChute Agent it can be used to shutdown your computer gracefully and safely.

Hi, Yes, I think I do have a network card. Do I need to install the Business Edition Server part? Step 2? To make it all work, even though I don't have a server? Just install it all on my one computer?

I just get so nervous in installing things.

Are there any things I need to look out for during the install? Choices that are better than the others?

Thanks,E

If you do have a network card on the computer, you can proceed and install the PowerChute Server and Console. Like what I have said before, you can install the Agent and still be able to perform a graceful shutdown. PowerChute Business Edition Server is an application that we are using to monitor the Agents that are running on your network, it serves as a central holding/polling area.

I recommend that you call our Schneider Electric Customer Care Center to properly assist you on installing and configuring the PowerChute Business Edition. They can be reached at 1-800-800-4272

Ah I see, I over looked the word 'just', saying I can install JUST the agent. I will for sure call the customer support. Silly me, I didn't even think of that. I just head to the forums.

Thank you so much for your replies!
