• 1 Owner's Manual
Features
In conjunction with Tripp Lite SmartOnline™UPS Systems, the UPS Communication Cable
Kit For IBM System i Servers protects IBM System i, AS/400 and iSeries Midrange Servers
from potential system corruption due to loss of power without prior operating system
shutdown. Using a UPS system without a communication cable protects against power
failures that do not exceed the battery capacity of the UPS system, but the potential for
system corruption still exists as the server drains the UPS system's battery during extended
blackouts. When connected to a Tripp Lite UPS System with the appropriate communication
cable from this kit, the server can monitor the status of the UPS and initiate an automatic,
graceful and orderly unattended system shutdown when necessary.
System Requirements
One of the Following:
• System i, AS/400 or iSeries Server with 9-pin J14 Port
• System i, AS/400 or iSeries Server with T1 or T2 Port*
*Requires the use of IBM adapter cable (FC1827; IBM Part # 97P4299). Also requires the complete shutdown
of the server and removal of all power cords for a period of 5 minutes immediately prior to installation.

Installation
First, install a Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS System of appropriate capacity to support the
server. Consult the UPS System Owner's Manual for installation instructions.
After the UPS System has been installed successfully, use the UPS Communication Cable
Kit For IBM System i Servers to connect the server and the UPS System, noting the
following instructions:
• Choose the appropriate communication cable for your SmartOnline UPS System:
use Part # 73-1070 for 1,000 VA - 3,000 VA; use Part # 73-1071 for 5,000+ VA.
• If you are connecting the cable to a server equipped with a 9-pin J14 port, such as an
AS/400 Model 170 or iSeries Model 270, there's no need to power down the server
before installation.
• If you are connecting the cable to a server equipped with a T1 or T2 port, such as an
IBM System i5™Model 520, you must shut down the server and completely remove all
power cords for 5 minutes immediately prior to installation. After 5 minutes have
elapsed, attach the appropriate cable and restart the server. This allows the server to
configure the T1 or T2 port as a UPS monitoring port. Installation on the T1 or T2 port
also requires the use of an IBM adapter cable (FC1827; IBM Part # 97P4299).
Configuration
The user must set three system values that govern the actions of the operating system during
a power failure indication: QUPSMSGQ, QUPSDLYTIM and QPWRRSTIPL.
• QUPSMSGQ specifies the message queue that receives messages upon power failure.
• QUPSDLYTIM specifies the time in seconds between power failure and shutdown
initiation.
• QPWRRSTIPL selects manual or automatic restart of the Initial Program Load (IPL)
when utility power returns.
Quick Test
1. Use the CL command DSPMSG MSGQ(QSYSOPR) to monitor the system for messages
regarding UPS status. (QSYSOPR is the default message queue. If the system value
QUPSMSGQ has been changed, replace QSYSOPR in this command with the
appropriate value.)
2. Disconnect the UPS communication cable from the server.
3. A message should appear indicating that the UPS is no longer connected to the server.
4. Reattach the UPS communication cable.
5. A message should appear indicating that the UPS is attached to the server.
Please note that the message queue will indicate only UPS detection, UPS disconnection
and power loss. If the server detects a low battery condition, it will initiate an immediate
shutdown.
