3 Machine shutdown

[Anonymous user]

Hello,

I have two desktops & laptop, ALL plugged into a BRG1300 UPS.  ALL plugged into battery backup/surge outlets.

How & what to do - To get all three machines to 'shutdown' gracefully, in the event of a power failure.

I have Powerchute personal - could this be used?  Would it be necessary to have it on all 3 machines?

If necessary, to help with the above, I could use an APC ES350, to power modem & router.  Note currently I use an APC protecnet, surge for the modem/router, this would be removed if using the ES350.  Correct?  

Note:  two desktops ethernet connected, laptop wireless.

Thanks

Hi,

PowerChute Personal Edition was created to power down a single computer however another contributor to this forum did post instruction on how to power down multiple systems. See http://forums.apc.com/spaces/5/smart-ups-symmetra-lx-rm/forums/general/13064/shutdown-multiple-devic...
