RE: UPS setup

["Eduard van den Braken" <e.vd.braken@xxxxxxxxx>]

The as/400 is sending 4 UPS related messages CPF1816 - CPF1819
These message are created by the signals the UPS is sending to connector J19
(the one labeled UPS on the back of the AS/400)
An example program reacting upon these messages is in the IBM books see:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/info/RZAHRXMPPGMRX
.HTM

I expect the messages you get are the same ones or do you have a UPS handing
program like the one above that help you and sends it own messages.

I know this topic has been discussed a thousand times, but I need some
clarification.

We are setting up a new UPS. In testing the new cable and get the following
messages:
System utility power failed at 030131101828.
System utility power restored at 030131102018.
Are these the right messages? Or do these messages have the same glamour as
most IBM messages.

Also why does it take so long to realize that the power is back on? As soon
as the message came on we turned power back on. There is a span there of
over 1 min.

In our testing we accidentally brought it down twice in our testing (oops).
However it is just a domino server for one application so not a HUGE deal.
When it came up it did an abnormal IPL. Is this right? How does the system
get shut down?

Also, I am looking for experience here. Our new UPS will last for 12 mins at
max load, now obviously we aren't near max load. What would you suggest for
delay time? I was thinking about 8 mins or so. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help

Mike Wills
