I'd recommend going with APC. Very reputable company, and they do offer a
cabling kit specifically to pass status messages to AS/400s. As to sizing,
APC may or may not list various AS/400 models in the sizing utility on
their web site; if they don't, you should be able to dig up the specs on
power consumption for the various units.

Note that the largest UPSs do require a dedicated 20A power socket.

In our own operation, we have a pair of APC Smart-UPS 2200s, with a 510 (2
boxes, 1 hat) running on one, a 170 running on the other, and various
WinDoze boxes, Linux boxes, and ancillary equipment, as well as an
intermittently-used 200 and an intermittently-used 40S, split between the
two, for an even load.
