Re: UPS issues

James,

Clearly if the UPS is asserting the 'weak battery' and 'on battery' signals the only thing OS/400 CAN do is shut down, how could it know to do anything else? This means you need to work with the APC folks to find out why the 'on battery' signal was asserted. IMHO the UPS was lying to OS/400 and there's just not much you can do from the OS/400 side.

We have installed and utilizedl a lot of APC UPSs over the years and I've not seen this behaviour from them before. I would check with APC support.

We just had to restart our main production AS/400, because the UPS
self-test apparently detected a weak battery and raised the "weak batery"
and "running on battery power" signals at the UPS monitoring socket on the
back of the machine.

Does anybody have any experience keeping a failed self-test from shutting
down the system, while still allowing monitoring? The UPS is an APC
Smart-UPS 2200, and the monitoring cable is the one APC supplies for
AS/400s with 9-pin monitoring sockets.
