The PC has an option in BIOS to "Power On" when the mains power is 
restored to it, without any need to press any button.
So, once the UPS has initiated a shutdown to the PC, the PC will 
shutdown, and if the mains power is restored (to the UPS) shortly after 
the PC has shutdown, how will the UPS make the PC come back on, unless 
it cuts (kills) the power to PC's cord, and then restores it after a few 
seconds.
