Some of the APC units come with software you can load into the computer. I think you need to run a separate USB cable from the UPS to the computer. When the power goes out, the UPS signals the software, which in turn does a clean shut-down of the computer.

Not sure how well it works, or how it handles unanswered "Do you want to save?" dialog boxes. I was supposed to load my software, but never got 'round to it.
