APC: Disabling APC UPS Audible Alarm Tones

Please follow the steps below to disable the APC UPS audible alarm tones.

Step 1:
Connect the UPS's RJ45 to USB communications cable between the UPS and the computer. Ensure the USB cable is inserted directly into one of the host computer's native USB ports. Do not use a hub or after market USB cards to establish communications.

Step 2:
Once the computer has detected the ""New Hardware Device"", install the PowerChute Personal Edition software onto a currently supported operating system.

Step 3:
Once the software has been properly installed, the UPS's audible alarms can be disabled by accessing the "Notifications Configuration" section found under the "Configurations" Tab and altering the "Battery Back-UPS Alarm" section. Here the alarms can be enabled for all events, disabled for all events, disabled during specific UPS conditions or during customer specified time periods.
