That much, I could figure out. Why the self-test (and the APC-to-AS/400
adapter cable wiring) would fail to take into account that the combination
of  ON BATTERY and LOW BATTERY signals adds up to IMMEDIATE LIC DISASTER
POWER-DOWN, and why there's no provision in the LIC for those two signals
to come on together as a result of a failed self-test, is what I'm trying
to figure out. That and how to prevent it from happening while still
allowing a real power outage of more than 2 minutes to trigger a
power-down, are the issue here.

A new set of batteries has been on the way since yesterday. A solution to
the self-test dilemma may take a bit longer.
