I've ordered a new iMac 21.5" with Fusion Drive HD.
Can someone advise me what is the proper UPS to buy for my new iMac please ?
It's important to have some kind of software ?
Thanks

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, 10.8.2
There are hundreds available so no specific one is right. No software is necessary, just get one that has a USB connection so you can set the Energy Saver preferences for the UPS.
Thank you all for your replies .
Hello again.
I've added the new APC BR900GI to my new iMac .
Can someone advise me what should I configure the Energy parameters ?
Thanks
That is probably all you need to do. Click the Shutdown Options... button and post a screenshot of it.
Thanks. According to those settings, if you lose utility power, your Mac will operate using the APC's battery power until the battery dies. What would occur then is exactly the same as if you were to suddenly unplug it.
Ideally, you may choose one or more of those shut down options above. Each of them will initiate an orderly shut down of your Mac according to the values you specify.
Compare yours to the corresponding screen shot I posted on Feb 27, 2013.
Remember all of this is optional. It's up to you to decide how long you intend to use your Mac while on UPS power. It should be long enough for you to finish what you're doing so that you can save your work, and not any longer that that.
Thank you,
Unfortunately I can't find your post...
Can you please add a Link ?

The Mac does not need the APC software, just plug it in and controls for the APC settings will appear in System Preferences>Energy Saver>UPS.
The iMac 21 has a peak power consumption of 101 watts.
Thank you very much for your help .
You are welcome.

APC Smart UPS 750.
You require one because the power in your house can go out, and your iMac needs power.

Just remember that this is a 230V only device.
