1 Owner's Manual

Features

In conjunction with Tripp Lite SmartOnlineUPS 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.
