APC UPS ES750 and Hibernation

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-29

I have an APC UPS ES750 and reading through the help file it recommends that you enable hibernation on your PC. On my Windows 7 Pro x64 hibernate and sleep modes are both off. I have my UPS set to shut off my PC after 3 minutes if there no power at all.

My question is should I enable hibernation on my PC and do I need to set it to 3 minutes to match the time setting on my UPS??? I would prefer not to set my PC to hibernate in 3 minutes unless I have no choice. I only want it to hibernate if the power goes out longer than 3 minutes.

Also will it work properly without hibernation enabled. Yesterday we a power outage while I was at work and the PC was off when I came home home. So I'm assuming the UPS shut it off. But I was concerned because I had an error in my event viewer that the PC was shut off improperly due to a crash or a power outage. I did not have hibernation enabled.Should I be getting error messages in my event viewer when the UPS shuts off my PC??? Will having hibernation enable make a difference???

Thanks.

Thanks but I figured out my problem.
The documentation in my opinion leaves much to be desired.

I did not have my PC connected to the master.
