Hi All,

We have an APC Smart-UPS SRT10000 with network management card (AP9537SUM hardware rev 5) which is setup and working well with Powerchute Network Shutdown on a few hosts. We also have 1 additional server which is physically powered by the UPS but has to reside on a completely separate network. I'm wondering whether it is possible to simply connect this additional server to the UPS via USB and use Powerchute Business Edition to provide a managed shutdown of this server, whilst simultaneously using the network management card to shut down the main hosts?

Is this possible? Would it cause any issues?

Thanks!

Worked fine for me in the past.
