Package Contents
• 2 UPS Communication Cables (Part # 73-1070 and Part # 73-1071)
• 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.
