RE: UPS & AS/400 talking to each other

Not that I know of. We had to set two system values, QUPSDLYTIM and
QPWRRSTIPL. The first is how long before it shuts down, and the second says
if it goes back up when power is restored.
I hope there isn't any more, otherwise we might have some problems here.

One thing, make sure to set the delay time as an average, leave plenty of
time for the system to do a full shut down, and still have plenty of battery
power yet, in case your shut down is a bit slow.

Good call.  I checked out the back of our AS/400s here, and the J14
port, a 9-pin, on the 9406-D60.  Someone had used a magic marker to
print "UPS" with an arrow pointing to the port at some point in the
past.

Also, on our 9402-400, there was no J14 designation that I could see,
but there was a clearly marked factory sticker with "UPS" on it just
above the port.  (There was another 9-pin port with "MI" marked on the
sticker above that; no idea what that is.)

O.K., next question:  Is there software involved like I see in some
Windows-based PC UPS's?
