I replaced a problematical UPS with an APC 1300 VA model number BX1300G UPS.I plugged the cable that came with the UPS for monitoring the UPS into the dataport on the UPS end and the other end into a USB port on a Windows Server 2012Essentials system. After I did so, I saw a battery charge icon appear in the notification area,aka system tray, at the lower right-hand corner of the screen of the server.

When I clicked on it, I saw that the system was now providing information on the UPS charge just as if I had a laptop running on battery power, though thesystem is a desktop system. As the UPS was charging, I saw information on its charge state and when it was fully charged, clicking on the power icon in the system tray showed 'fully charged' for the UPS battery.

Going to the Control Panel using Ctrl-Esc then clickingon Hardware, then selecting Device Manager showed'HID UPS Battery' beneath 'Batteries'.

Double-clicking on it opened a HID UPS Battery Propertieswindow that showed 'on American Power Conversion USB UPS' for 'Location'under the General tab, so the operating system did recognizethe manufacturer of the UPS.

Clicking on the Events tab, I saw that the driver name washidbatt.inf.

To configure the actions Windows will take when the battery powerbecomes very low, I went to the Control Panel, then selectedSystem and Security and then Power Options.

The 'Balanced' power plan was selected; I clicked on 'Change plan settings'.Then at the Edit Plan Settings widow, I clicked on 'Change advancedpower settings'.

I then clicked on 'Change settings that are currently unavailable' at thePower Options window, since otherwise I would be unable to change the settings.

I then scrolled down to Battery and clicked on the plus signto the left of it, so that I could expand it to see the options within it.

The setting for 'On battery' within 'Critical battery action' was 'Shut down'.

I changed it to 'Hibernate'. I had previously enabled hibernation modefor the system as explained at Enabling hibernation on a Windows Server 2012 Essentials system.

I then clicked on OK, which took me back to the Edit PlanSettings window.

The Save changes button there was grayed out, but that didn'tmatter. When I closed the window and then reopened it and checked the settingsgoing through the steps above again, I found that the option to hibernatewhen on battery for 'Critical battery action' was set.
