Whatever you get needs to communicate with the iSeries. Otherwise, if the
electricity goes out when you're not by the system, all you've done is
extend the time before a crash. The iSeries has a unique cable that is 9 pin
serial, and male on both ends, with the middle pin missing on the row of 5
pins from the end that attaches to the iSeries.

If you don't have the communications connection, you may have an expensive
surge protector, but you don't have a UPS = Uninteruptable Power Supply. If
you do have the communcations, the UPS and the iSeries communicate and
the iSeries will be brought down after "X" minutes of power outage. ("X"
being the amount of time set in your appropriate system value.)

PS. At home I have the UPS you found on NewEgg hooked to my PC -
unfortunately, the one I ordered through NewEgg was damaged in shipment from
UPS - (HUH??? Boy! Is THAT confusing!). So I had to purchase it locally at
Micro Systems. (Same price when you throw in the shipping.) However, it's
not set to communicate with the iSeries. I think someone mentioned hooking
it into a M$SF system, and doing a communications thing that way...

Lots of good reviews.. for Windows machines mainly, though.
