APC PowerChute

by

If the current to your client devices exceeds the specified 600-W level, the software will visually and acoustically notify you of the overload and will initiate a shutdown soon after.

The Power Event Summary offers a nice visual way of accessing the software’s event log.

The Risk Assessment is based on a parameter and component check list.

Clearly, the input voltage is not as steady as you might believe.

There is a Deluxe Edition of the PowerChute software, which is suitable for network management of 5+UPS units and comfortable mass deployment. However, it is not free.

I have a question about my UPS's ability to sufficiently support my system. I have been told that if my UPS is too small it may harm my PSU by starving it for power. Here are my specs

Corsair TX650 http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6817139005
i7 920 (typically running at stock speed)
Antec Skeleton (full size Skeleton case, not the mini)
Two 500 Gig SATA WD HDD's
GTS 250 (soon adding another one for SLI)
6 gigs of Patriot DDR3 (soon adding 6 more)
Standard cheapy CD/DVD ROM writer (light on brand? I forget)
2 22 inch LCD's (may be plugged into non battery side of UPS)
Logitech G19 Keyboard
Logitech G9 mouse

My UPS is the APC Back-UPS ES 550

Is my UPS sufficient for my setup? Is it going to harm my PSU? I see that my UPS has an output of 330 watts/550 VA, and I am confused as to whether this is sufficient to supply a 650 watt PSU. Thanks guys!
