Not only that, the price IBM is charging for this #1827 "Serial-UPS 
Conversion Cable" is nothing short of obscene.  It's CDN$150, and I think 
around US$90.  THEY made the change to the UPS serial port, THEY should 
supply a free cable on all orders for the new 5xx boxes.  And considering 
what they're charging for it, it's appalling that there is still no PTF 
available (yet) to make it work properly.

UPS Signal Cable Problems with i5






Hi,

The UPS signal cable port on the back of the system, which for years has
been labeled as J14 has always been a female port.  It turns out that on
the 520 and 570 (I haven't seen a 550 yet) it is obviously labeled T1 and
now it's male!

Come on, give me a break.  So when you shell out for your new i5, you also
have to purchase a gender bender (obviously not included) to change your
signal cable port from male to female.

Was anyone thinking?
