TFTPD is Startrom.com, which is responsible for bootstrapping the client computer. If the user then presses F12 when prompted, the Client Installation Wizard is downloaded to begin the remote installation process.

Description:-:Manages communications with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) connected to the computer by a serial port.
Note: If you have a USB UPS, you should not start this service.
By default the startup type is manual and the default status is stopped, unless you install and configure a serial UPS. Once you install and configure a serial UPS , the startup type changes to automatic and the default status changes to started.
If this service is stopped or disabled, communications with the UPS will no longer work. In the event of power loss on the alternating current (AC) line, the UPS will be unable to direct the PC to shut down while the UPS battery discharges toward a critically low state. This could result in loss of data.
