* The powerpanel setup CD that ships with the UPS contains both the windows(.exe) and the Linux(.deb, .rpm, .tar) installers along with all the detailed instructions
* The latest version of the software can always be downloaded from the [https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups/pfc-sinewave/cp1500pfclcd product website]
* '''Installation instructions for WindowsServer:'''** Log into the RDP with an admin account(Only Ed, Ravali and Harsh have admin privileges on the RDPat the time of writing this document)** Just insert the CD and run the setup.** Make sure that the powerpanel software is running with admin privileges, otherwise it won't let you configure/test anything.** Run the self test from the powerpanel software to ensure the UPS functions as intended and the batteries are all good.* '''Installation instructions for Linux Server:'''** I didn't want to use the '''wget''' command since I wasn't sure of the url from which to grab the setup (feel free to follow this path if you know what your'e doing).** Instead of '''wget''', I used filezilla to manually upload the Linux setup folder found in the CD to my home directory in both the DB and Web servers. Again, you can use '''scp''' to upload the folder if you are comfortable with the command** Log into the servers and elevate yourself to root** Locate the folder you uploaded and cd into the '''deb''' subfolder** View the install guide (highly recommended) using '''cat, vi, vim or emacs'''. youYou'l ll realize that the subsequent points commands below are taken from the install guide anyways:** '''dpkg -i powerpanel_1.3_amd64.deb''' since we are running a 64 bit server** '''pwrstat -test''' to run the UPS self test** '''pwrstat -config''' to see your settings** '''pwrstat -status''' to monitor the power backup status, battery capacity etc.
