@sagi.varma 

What model UPS do you have?

Does the UPS have a network management card?

What is the OS?

How many servers will be powered by the UPS?

We have server 2012 R2.

I need to get the ups models.

I need to know which version of powerchute is used on server os so that i can inform client.

Our goal is to configure auto shutdown when low on battery.

You should use PowerChute Serial Shutdown. See this post.

Hi BillP,

The compatibility chart of PowerChute Serial shutdown does not show Windows Server 2012 R2. Please let me know which version should we use to install in server 2012 R2.

Thanks & Regards,

Server 2012 R2 has not been approved with PowerChute Serial Shutdown so it is not officially supported. I have tested Server 2012 R2 with PowerChute Serial Shutdown and it does work properly.
