Last night, after nightly backups, and at the direction of my APC support
tech, I initiated a front-panel self-test of the balky UPS.

Wow! The alarm started going off, and as soon as I looked at the AS/400's
LCD, it was going through D-series shutdown SRCs. Even after I'd let go of
the on/test button, it was shutting itself down in a big hurry (when the
combination of on-battery and low-battery signals initiates a LIC disaster
shutdown, it's fast and unstoppable). Within 2 minutes, the machine was
shut down. It took over half an hour to come back up (most of it spent
checking the synchronization on the 100% mirrored hard drives). Glad I
waited until after hours, even if it did mean babysitting a painfully slow
IPL.

Any ideas, short of inserting a short adapter (I'm thinking, 2-3" of
ribbon cable, w/male and female DB9s) with the "low battery" line
physically severed?
