Auto shutdown of ESXi when UPS battery low

Hi,

Could anyone tell me if there is a way to shutdown the ESXi 5.0 server if there is a power outage and the UPS battery runs down?

I assume I could install the UPS software on the Windows VM and have the guest OS shutdown but what about the host?

I only use the free vSphere 5.0 client to administer the host not vcentre.

Thanks in advance.
