===Introduction===

Apcupsd can be used for power management and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Unix and Windows machines. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates. Apcupsd is licensed under the GPL version 2.

The latest version of ''apcupsd'' is 3.14.8-1 (January 2010) and is available from sourceforge in two rpms - one for the UPS daemon and one for the web based monitoring scripts. Neither of these install exactly in line with the ''SME way'', and neither does the older version available on DAG.

The latest version of ''apcupsd'' is 3.14.10-1 (2011-10-04) and is available from sourceforge in two rpms - one for the UPS daemon and one for the web based monitoring scripts. Neither of these install exactly in line with the ''SME way'', and neither does the older version available on DAG.

These installation instructions make some additional modifications for SME. They have been tested on SME 7.5 and an APC SmartUPS 1500i with both a usb and a 940-0024C smart serial cable. They have also been tested with an AP9617 Network Management Card using both the ''snmp'' and ''pcnet'' UPSTYPE drivers'

These installation instructions make some additional modifications for SME. They have been tested on:

{{Note box|SME uses Nut as standard for UPS monitoring and control and works with a more than just APC UPS models. See [[Uninterruptable_Power_Supply]] for details }}

- SME 7.5 and an APC SmartUPS 1500i with both a usb and a 940-0024C smart serial cable.  

- SME 7.5.1 and an APC BackUPS BR800 with a usb cable.

- AP9617 Network Management Card using both the ''snmp'' and ''pcnet'' UPSTYPE drivers'
