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 i5Model 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.
