UPS or power backup - The S8700-series Servers always require power backup to avoid
power problems, and to ensure graceful shutdown of the system processes if the power fails.
The AS1 700-VA UPS provides approximately 30 minutes of power backup. Combinations of
battery extension modules and a 1500-VA UPS provide up to 8 hours of power backup.
The AS1 UPS units use SNMP traps to send an alarm when power fails. This action initiates a
graceful shutdown process of the Linux server, including the call processing software.
