A computer UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is designed to provide power to a computer system if normal power fails. The length of time a UPS will support a computer depends on the capacity of the UPS and the draw of the system being supported.

Properly configured and installed, most systems will monitor the UPS and begin a normal shutdown when notified by the UPS that a power outage is in process.

Some are large enough to maintain computer operations long enough for backup power generation to come online.

Why is there a USB port on my UPS?

You would need to check with the manufacturer of the UPS. Most likely this is to connect to the computer that the UPS is supporting. As the UPS will only be able to power the computer for a small amount of time there is normally a connection between the computer and UPS. This is for the UPS to tell the computer it is now running on the batteries and to tell the computer to shut-down in a controlled way.


A ups that can be controlled by software from a computer is called a smart ups?

Yes that is corrrect. A smart UPS will communicate with the computer in the event that the main power goes out. It will keep the computer running for a time, then if the main power does not come back on, the UPS will command a safe shut down, and the computer will turn off.
