Re: UPS issues

Hi,

Believe it or not, computing uses very little power on these systems.  I
suggest doing a test in a restricted state.

We just had to restart our main production AS/400, because the UPS
self-test apparently detected a weak battery and raised the "weak batery"
and "running on battery power" signals at the UPS monitoring socket on the
back of the machine.

Does anybody have any experience keeping a failed self-test from shutting
down the system, while still allowing monitoring? The UPS is an APC
Smart-UPS 2200, and the monitoring cable is the one APC supplies for
AS/400s with 9-pin monitoring sockets.
