Rick,

The short answer is to get a UPS which is compatible with the AS/400 and
marketed as such.  Many vendors have this feature.  It will come with a
cable (9-pin serial I think) which connects the UPS to the CPU.  This
will then generate the messages to which the OS will react.

If you need information on power draw from your system, check the Info

Don't forget your console.
