If you are only using the UPS to cover for outages from momentary
up to a few seconds, not much.

However, if you want the UPS to notify the OS when the battery
starts to get low, so that the OS can shut down cleanly, you need
for the OS to support whatever communication mechanism the UPS
provides.
