Universal Power Supply. These are the power supply units that you use to prevent your computer from immediately powering off during a power outage, giving you a chance to shut down and prevent damage.
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.
