6 P13 AND P14 COMMUNICATION OPTIONS UPS Monitoring on the i5, iseries, and AS/ Set the QUPSDLYTIM system value for the UPS monitoring feature. 2. UPS monitoring is a standard feature of the iseries (AS/400) operating system. QUPSDLYTIM is a timer that tells the system how long to run on UPS power before shutting down. Each system is initially assigned a default value for QUPSDLYTIM. A complete description of QUPSDLYTIM is provided on the AS/400 Information Center Internet Site at: Select System Administration and Maintenance. CAUTION The *NOMAX value tells the AS/400 to use customized shutdown software, and if none is available it will begin shutdown immediately when utility power fails. Do not set QUPSDLYTIM to *NOMAX unless you understand the implications of the *NOMAX function as described at the AS/400 Information Center Internet Site. 6 EATON Powerware 5115 (9910-P13 and P14) Communication Options for IBM Applications S Rev A

7 P13 AND P14 COMMUNICATION OPTIONS Serial (TTY) Interface Overview To serially (TTY) connect the UPS to a p5, pseries, RS/6000, OpenPower, or other system you need: S A Powerware-supplied serial interface cable (labeled or ), included with the UPS S Powerware LanSafe Power Management Software from the Software Suite CD, included with the UPS For p5 installations you also need: S An IBM-supplied 2-port Asynchronous EIA adapter (FC 5723) installed on a p5 server (the pseries does not require an EIA adapter) S An IBM-supplied maintenance package for AIX 5.2L V5.2 (APAR IY66260); or the maintenance package for AIX 5.3L V5.3 (APAR IY62267) Follow the software installation instructions contained on the Software Suite CD to install the Powerware LanSafe software.
