Disable UPS battery power popups

Is there a way to disable the "Your computer is now running on UPS backup batter power" popup in SLS?
Since it's a server, it's not like someone is sitting there watching the attached monitor, as there isn't any.
I'd like for this to not pop up. Anyone know of a way? It seems to come up every time there is any sort of brief power issue. I know I can disconnect the UPS cable from the server, but, I of course would prefer a graceful shutdown.

In my case our power is fine but I think the computer is perhaps testing whether UPS power is online every week or so. When I don't check a serve via ARD at least once per week, I see one alert (and if I don't check for a month, 4 alerts... etc).
With these same servers I did not have the issue (and still do not with others) in 10.5.x so I have to assume its a SL server thing as I assumed above.

  • Px4-300d shuts down/powers off while on UPS battery, regardless of remaining battery level

    Upon line power failure, the UPS is instantly available to supply power to the px4-300d.  The UPS is adequately sized to provide well over an hour of runtime during a power failure.  The only way to have caching operate is to have a UPS connected.  With the UPS connected, the NAS sees the UPS, the current power condition, and an accurate battery power level (%).  Once the power fails, the unit begins its shutdown process and completes gracefully, even though the remaining power in the UPS battery is still near 100%.  The whole point of having UPS backup is to keep the device running for as long as possible during a power failure, and then to gracefully shut-down the device should the UPS battery level reach a critical level and line-power still not restored.  This is MANDATORY to be addressed in the next firmware release, or provide access to a configuration file that specifies the battery level percentage which triggers a shutdown.  Why choose this "Enterprise Quality" storage solution if during a power outage it shuts itself down while everything else is still operating?  Makes absolutely no sense.

    Hi easy-e,
    What is the firmware version on your device currently?
    LifeLine-based network storage devices should remain up and running normally using only UPS battery power until the UPS reports remaining battery is less than 3 minutes or below 5%. At his point, device shutdown will be triggered and your network storage device will gracefully shut down.
    Have you checked to make sure it is compatible?:
    What Universal Power Supply (UPS) models are compatible with my ix or px network device?
    APC UPS not working with network storage device
    If it is not shutting down properly, I would suggest contacting technical support to see if they can troubleshoot the cause of this problem.

  • Will an iPhone automatically turn off location services.  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and so how you disable this in settings.

    I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services?  If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.
    Message was edited by: mickyel

    I don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

  • Disable 1 CPU core to save battery power?

    Would disabling one of two CPU cores in energy saver make the battery last longer?
    Energy saver features no longer make clear what is happening. When using the slower 9400 GPU is the processor also throttled?
    It would be nice to be able to see if this is the case and manually throttle the processor if it is not.
    Activity monitor should show when cpu's are disabled and or throttled.
    CPU Disable/Throttle Settings should include option to come back online if processor use reaches throttle limit for a period of time, or only when certain programs reach the throttle limit for an extended period of time. like photoshop in a large batch operation or final cut in project render.
    This request has been sent to Apple Feedback.

    The facility to turn off a core is mainly for use by developers who need to test their software under different conditions as well as to be sure the software will work on single-core machines. It's not really intended for use as an energy saving technique.
    Remember that if you switch GPUs you must then restart or log out for it to take effect. I'm not sure which of those you are supposed to do since I don't have one of the new machines. I think the info is in your user manual.
    Check your Energy Saver preferences to be sure you implement settings that will preserve battery power such as sleeping the drive on idle, putting the screen asleep quickly when not in use - two or three minutes, and putting the computer to sleep after a short period of non-use - five or ten minutes. Enable the option to dim the screen and turn down the screen's backlight as much as you can stand. These all help to extend battery operation.
    You really should not need to disable one of the cores as the built-in speedstep should throttle down the processor when idle or when the processor doesn't require full power.

  • Satellite M100 - Does a disabled firewire port saves battery power?

    Hey everybody
    I do not need IEEE so..
    If I disable firewire in device manager will it turn it off and will it help to save battery power?

    Hi Dmitrij
    I doubt that disabled firewire port will help you to save battery power.
    If you want to save the battery power you should check the Toshiba Power Saver settings and options.
    Check the HowTO document

  • Hizzing / bad sound when running from battery power (Ups)?:

    Why is my computer (Imac) emitting a hizzing sound when running from the UPS (battery)? I am testing a offline UPS type: POWERWARE Eaton Protection Station UPS 500VA 250W. My Imac is suppose to use max 200 watts of electrity (Imac 24 inch. intel 2.8 Ghz, 4 GB memory). When running from AC there is no sound. When testing (pulling out the cord on the UPS the Imac starts emitting a disturbing hizz / sound)???

    I solved it my self. It was OK (no buzz and fuzz) when it was plugged in (when the electicity line was down once and I was running on the UPS battery).....

  • File transfer speed when on battery power

    Hey there - I've noticed that my file transfer speed is ridiculously slow when i'm not plugged in to a power source. Even when my battery is fully charged it's super slow. This happens not only when I'm uploading files from a memory card to my computer but when I'm attaching files to an email, or even sending an email.  I've asked other mac users and they say this is not the norm for their machines....any ideas?
    thanks!
    Sunny

    additionally, you can disable power menagement for your wireless card completely through iwconfig's power option. I suggest you read the manpage for iwconfig, I have quotes the 2 related options for you.
    txpower
    For cards supporting multiple transmit powers, sets the transmit power in dBm. If W is the power in Watt, the power in dBm is P = 30 + 10.log(W). If the value is postfixed by mW, it will be automatically converted to dBm.
    In addition, on and off enable and disable the radio, and auto and fixed enable and disable power control (if those features are available).
    Examples :
    iwconfig eth0 txpower 15
    iwconfig eth0 txpower 30mW
    iwconfig eth0 txpower auto
    iwconfig eth0 txpower off
    power
    Used to manipulate power management scheme parameters and mode.
    To set the period between wake ups, enter period 'value'. To set the timeout before going back to sleep, enter timeout 'value'. You can also add the min and max modifiers. By default, those values are in seconds, append the suffix m or u to specify values in milliseconds or microseconds. Sometimes, those values are without units (number of beacon periods, dwell or similar).
    off and on disable and reenable power management. Finally, you may set the power management mode to all (receive all packets), unicast (receive unicast packets only, discard multicast and broadcast) and multicast (receive multicast and broadcast only, discard unicast packets).
    Examples :
    iwconfig eth0 power period 2
    iwconfig eth0 power 500m unicast
    iwconfig eth0 power timeout 300u all
    iwconfig eth0 power off
    iwconfig eth0 power min period 2 power max period 4
    website with the current manpage:
    http://linux.die.net/man/8/iwconfig
    or simply:
    $ man iwconfig

  • Battery power consumed quickly

    * 15" MBP was fully powered.
    * I had a couple applications running in the background, but they were all idle.
    * Bluetooth was disabled
    * Airport was enabled and connected to my hotel's wireless internet.
    * Latest software updates applied already
    * Energy saver mode was set to "high video performance".
    I began to watch an AVI video in full-screen and after about 1 hour, I get the popup window that my battery power is very low! How can that be? Ok, my screen brightness perhaps I have to reduce a bit but come on.. I do not ever hit this problem on a PC laptop. I should be able to play 2, maybe 3 hrs, of video to watch and complete a movie without requiring the power adapter.
    Any tips on what I can do?
    Much appreciated - thanks.

    Sometimes, it happens that the laptop makes the wrong estimates about when the battery is full or empty. The solution for this is to calibrate the battery. Basically, you totally drain the battery overnight. This is described here:

  • Can one turn off the UPS utility power lost warning?

    We have our machine in the bedroom. If the power dips at night, it wakes up to give us the news that we are running on UPS backup power. Since I have the machine set to shut down if the power gets too low, I'd rather not have it wake me up. The only thing I've been able to do is shut it down before we go to bed. Can that warning dialog be disabled?
    Best,
    David

    It's not a question of sound, but of the 27" screen suddenly lighting up. I don't have a problem with it doing this for a shutdown. My issue is that the UPS issues its "on battery" message if there is the slightest momentary dip in the power, which happens fairly often around here. If someone can point me to the specification for the UPS messages, I may try to come up with an extension that filters them, so that the "on battery" message will be ignored if, say, a corresponding "on mains power" message comes within a minute or so.

  • MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

    Hi
    My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
    I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
    I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
    I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
    I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

    If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
    My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
    My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
    Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
    Good luck!

  • 10.5.8 won't show UPS battery level

    I just installed an APC Smart UPS 1000 VA UPS to my Mac Pro server.  The USB cable is plugged in and the UPS battery is fully charged according to the display on the UPS itself.  The Energy Saver control panel is the APC preferred control method (they do not supply software for MAC OS X after 10.4) and all the controls appear as expected with the exception that the Battery Level indicator at the top of the Prefs panel shows 0% full.
    I've unplugged and plugged it back in to no effect.  I restarted the server.  I turned off the power at the wall switch and the UPS ran the server with no dramas for about 10 minutes.  Nothing I tried had any effect.
    There is nothing in the APC support site other than instructions for using Energy Saver panel.
    Our power here has been pretty flaky this year and I want the server to gracefully shut down after about 10 minutes of an outage.  It won't work if the UPS won't talk to the copmputer.

    Have you checked to see if another USB device works on the USB port the UPS is connected to?

  • Mac Book Pro Shuts down on Battery Power

    First, I apologize to everyone for asking this question yet again. I have gone through the previous posts and I am still at a loss. So thank you for your patience and help.
    When I run my MacBook pro on battery power it will run for around 15 - 20 minutes... then just be dead. No low battery warning. No shut down. Just poof and gone.
    I have looked at my power settings to see if my battery is bad. But I don't have a Status indicator in there. I see This:
    System Power Settings:

    I have also looked at the directions on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490 about how to calibrate my battery. It says:
    " 1. Plug in the power adapter and fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar indicates that the battery is fully charged.
    2. Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
    3. Disconnect the power adapter while the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power. You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low, the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
    4. At this point, save your work. Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep.
    5. Turn off the computer or allow it to sleep for five hours or more.
    6. Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again."
    Only I have a problem withe step 3 and 4. I don't get the warning, and it doesn't go to sleep. So, I don't think any calibration is working.
    Do I need a new battery? Should I just buy one? This computer is WAY out of warranty and I never purchased and apple care plan for it.
    Again, than you for any and all advice on what I may need to do.

    I think it's time to buy a new battery

  • Laptop freezes while on battery power.

    I have Arch 64 bit install on a Thinkpad T510. While the laptop is plugged into power, it is rock solid and can run for days without a crash.
    The laptop freezes up quite often when it is running on battery power. After anything from 15 minutes to an hour, it will probably freeze. I cannot switch to a tty, I just have to do a hard reset.

    I'm not sure if tracker could be causing the problem, or if it is something else.
    I have the discrete graphics card enabled - NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]

    It might not necessarily be caused by loss of power, but maybe if the battery power dips? Or if the battery gets too hot and something overheats, then that could cause freezing. I'm only going by what I've found on google.
    Anyway, I found another thread (not sure why I didn't see it before) that suggests that it might be caused by bluetooth (bluez specifically) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115814, but it seems like that was more of a locking up problem than freezing completely. I've remove bluez and disabled bluetooth for now anyway (unfortunately can't remove it completely because I'm on Gnome Shell) and I'll run on battery for a good while and see if things freeze again.
    EDIT: also followed this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HDAPS in case the problem was caused by the hard drive being moved about.

  • Battery, Power, Deep Sleep and Spotlight problems after 10.9.4 update

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 13in (Late 2011). I updated to the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and iTunes on Sunday, right after that my macbook started to goes into Deep Sleep after closing the lid, even when the battery was 80% of charge. My battery normally lasts for almost 5 hours. After it went to deep sleep, the power bottom does not respond. Also, I have noticed that spotlight process in Monitor was consuming so huge amount of resources. This problem persists in Boot Camp. There is no way to turn the machine up without plugging it to the power cord. Sometimes it charges the battery as usual, sometimes it does not recognize the battery. Suddenly, the mac goes into sleep mode while I'm using it.
    I have researching and troubleshooting in order to fix this but no solution. I have reset the PRAM and SMC. I made a backup of my files and installed Mavericks from the ground with external storage in order to erase the entire disk, no solution. I made an Internet Recovery and downgraded it to Lion, it worked for 2 hours and then I upgraded again to Mavericks (10.9.0) and the same problem came again, the upgraded to 10.9.4 and no solution at all.
    I have searched on internet and there are other people experiencing this problem but nobody is able to bring a valid solution.
    This is my battery's health:

    Reseting the NVRAM/PRAM doesn't solve my problems.
    Hi, since you have performed NVRAM /PRAM reset, try:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    and if still issues persist,  try: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
