RE: AS/400 - UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Question

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

No lie ("you'd think one would turn it on). Unless there is some kind of
reset button or something (?) Do you have a maintenance contract on the UPS
? We have GREAT support here (Indianapolis) with the ones we are using. And
they are the ones that figured out our wiring mess in less than 5 minutes !

Who makes your UPS ?

IBM came in (but of course it had stopped issuing the message 30 minutes
before that) and checked the power being received at the 620 and it shows as
212 which should be OK I guess. Then he leaves and 20 minutes latter it is
doing it again... Still waiting to hear from the UPS folks.

Chuck

Chuck -

I have a 9910-140 UPS for my 170.  I know its 4 years old, but it failed 
during the brown-out period a good minute before the full black out.  
The UPS was completely useless.  When the power came back, the UPS was 
dead (power was up for a good 5 hours before I could get in the 
office).  I just received new batteries today, put them in, and still 
dead.  I am stymied.  There are only two buttons on the unit, you think 
one of them would turn it on.
