UPS Monitoring on the i5, iSeries, and AS/400
1. 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:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/ic2924/info/index.htm
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.

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 5200-05 for AIX 5.2L V5.2
(APAR IY66260); or the maintenance package 5300-01 for AIX 5.3L
V5.3 (APAR IY62267)
Follow the software installation instructions contained on the Software
