Sophos XG appliance orderly shutdown when uninterrupted power supply (UPS) on battery

Question

I searched online but did not find any definitive information. Is it possible to shutdown the device gracefully when UPS is in battery mode? Is this possible? I saw some comments on connecting using USB interface but nothing that will help us setup OR provide instructions on how to setup and test. 
 
 Any help would be appreciated

Hello Hozi, 
 Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment with the XG. Not sure though, if a Smart-UPS with a network card would work. But since it is not supported at the moment, there is no documentation to share, unfortunately.

Hey Hozi - your fist post - welcome to the XG Community! 
 I have long experience with the SG/UTM, but not much with XG. Based on my knowledge of both, I doubt that anything is gained by orderly shutdown of a Sophos firewall.
