Thanks Chad!
 
I found this on IBM web.

Document Title 
Connecting a UPS to an IBM® eServer(tm) i5 System

Document Description
Required fix: Model 520 systems must have fix level SF220_51 or higher.

Required cable: Before connecting a UPS to your model 520 or model 570 IBM® 
eServer(tm) i5 system, you will need a UPS cable converter - feature code 1827 
- part number 97P4299. (At some point, UPS manufacturers may provide the 
converter cables with the UPS or they may provide a UPS sensing cable that will 
not need the converter, but for now FC1827 can be ordered from IBM.) 

Referring to the following diagram, connect side B of the serial to UPS 
converter cable (with the external threads) to the top port on the back of your 
system. Connect side A of the serial to UPS converter cable (with the internal 
threads) to the vendor supplied UPS cable.  





For the model 570 and rack mounted model 520: Connect the UPS sensing cable to 
the top serial port (the serial ports are located on the back of the system 
unit to the far left).

For the desktop model 520: Connect the UPS cable to the right serial port (the 
serial ports are located on the back of the system unit at the very top).

There are two serial ports on the rear of the 520.  We have a rack mounted 
model and it's the top serial port, which is labeled 'T2'.  I'm not sure how 
they're oriented on a standalone model.  Be aware that some PTFs and/or 
firmware updates may be required to get the machine's firmware up to the 
correct level so that it will detect the cable.  On one of our 520s we needed 
to power down the system after updating the firmware and actually remove power 
to the 520 for several minutes in order to get the firmware updated completely 
before the cable's presence would register (per IBM's suggestion after the 
cable still wouldn't register).

Also, there is a short 'conversion' cable from IBM that you will need with the 
520... it attaches to the T2 serial port and then to your UPS cable.

IBM's hardware support group is getting pretty familiar with these items now, 
but the first few calls took a while! ;)

Hi!

I have a new i520.
Where do i connect my UPS cable on a i520?
I can't find any J14 port.
